Learn how to grow a variety of wholesome vegetables, herbs and trees, using organic, e principles and permaculture thinking, borrowed from the toolkit itself to get you started on this journey and to get those hands of yours re-connected to the earth, and boost your homegrown harvest, nutrition, AND happiness levels, all at once.
WE are designing this two day package which will be spaced out to give you time to practice right away after the course and share your experience with us during the next sessions. This gives us the opportunity to answer your questions, interact with you one on one and dive in to practical sessions that will give you the tools to discover. You'll learn how to use permaculture thinking, design, skills and habits to transform your everyday for the better. Get ready to create abundance, become more resilient, thrive where you already are, and make some serious climate-positive changes! It is absolutely ACHIEVABLE and this course is open to ANYONE!

Testimonials from participants who took our most recent two day course
"This course conducted at beautiful Mlango farm is very inspiring! It showed me that integrated permaculture technique around my home is feasible and not complicated. I am very excited to put into practise what I have learned." ~ S.B, FAO (Cohort 1)
"This was my first time attending a gardening course. I've never been to any garden. Though I have attempted to establish some kitchen gardens which I never knew anything about from arrangement, spacing, watering the crops and topography of the land. I was connected to this course by Mark Johannes from Netherlands and MAF Kenya generously flew me to Nairobi for this course. Now after taking this course, I have learnt alot. Laisamis in marsabit where I am from and currently work in, has a lot of malnutrition cases. I will help them through this course and establish standard kitchen gardens so that they can access food groups which prevent anaemia and malnutrition." - M.G (Cohort 1, from Marsabit)
"All of the World' problems can be solved in the garden"
