Organic farming course

Through our organic farming course in Lozoya (Madrid) you will learn in a practical way the main tasks of an organically cultivated garden: seedbeds, raised beds, irrigation, pest control, sowing, soil management, composting, vermiculture, chicken coop, etc.

This essentially hands-on course is aimed at those interested in creating an organic garden for personal consumption or for socio-educational purposes, whether in rural or urban settings. No prior knowledge is necessary. It is also a very useful workshop for urban gardens and container gardens.
