Jordan Brown from Calgary started an
online course last year for people who want to learn
gardening. It's geared to people who know absolutely nothing about
gardening. I joined last year and I believe I paid $50 and I think it's totally worth it. The videos are super good quality and often times really funny. Jordan's a super good dude to hang around with too.
Jordan's goal is to have more people grow their own food, so he's not pushing any one method of gardening, but he definitely does present things with a
permaculture angle.
He also arranged get togethers at various gardens to show examples of what he's talking about. I went to a get together on vermiculture and I heald a get together on hugelkultur. Unfortunately the Calgary flood was the same week as my presentation, so not too many people showed up. I may try again this year. The get togethers are a great way to get to know people in the community who are like minded about
sustainability.
If you live in a similar climate to Calgary, I think you can learn a lot.
