More about this course

This two-week, plants-first course from BBC Gardeners World will teach you the foundational knowledge needed to be a good gardener. Building on the basic science behind plants, you will learn how to help any plant thrive by creating the right growing environment.
In order to create the best environment for your plants, its important to understand how they function and how they differ from each other.
You will start by building a foundation in the science of plants, learning about the different parts of plants, their different forms, and how each part supports growth. You will then look at various different plant types and their different needs to grow successfully.
Plants all have their own optimal environment for growth, and this includes the time of year and weather that they each thrive in.
This course will guide you through the growth cycles of different plant types and tips for maintaining them through these cycles. You will also look at the different environments that help each type of plant to grow, both indoors and outdoors, and assess the growing conditions that you already have around you.
When assessing different growing conditions, you need to know how to adapt your cultivation techniques according to your plants needs.
This course will teach you the basics of different techniques and what you need to know to assess different growing conditions and adapt for your plants. You will also focus on soil composition and the role it plays in determining what you are able to grow.
