Grow Your Own Grub - A Little Farm On The Hill

Would you like to GROW YOUR OWN GRUB?

If so you might enjoy the one day practical introduction to home gardening at an organic farm, only 40 minutes drive from KL. Friends who attended this course recently say it was one of the best learning experiences they had!

The workshop will be run by gardening and compost buff, Harbir Gill. It's designed for anyone who's interested to get started in growing fresh vegetables in their garden or apartment balcony, or anyone who's already been bitten by the gardening bug but wants to see better results. The course is hands-on and will introduce you to the basic principles of natural gardening and all the benefits that come with it. The course starts at 9.30am and finishes at 4pm. Refreshments, lunch, course equipment and notes are included.
