Hot off the press! We are teaming up with Emma Maxwell and Coleg Harlech to offer a 20 week (60 hour) certificated course in organic gardening at the Workhouse. The course will be for 3 hours a week, on a Thursday afternoons from 12.30 – 3.30, and it is planned so that people needing to collect children from the local school can still attend.
Each week there will be a mixture of theory and practial and the course will be there to support you right through the growing season. (We wont be running sessions on the 2 weeks of the easter holiday and the half term week and there will be one practical saturday session in April (tbc).
Its £190 per person for the whole 20 week course, and the good news is that it will be straightforward to get funding via WEA or the ILA Wales. Prices are flexible (fixed by WEA) If you are retired on a penions or full benefits then it is £140. Those on means tested benefits (eg tax credits) then its £40 for the whole course. Those without any level 1 qualifications (eg GCSE) can apply for an ILA and get 100% funding for the course
Call them on their freephone number to apply for your grant. You can book your place via the Coleg Harlech. We are just confirming all the details, so watch this space but I am keen to advertise the course as it starts soon.
