This course will cover the basics of planning a food growing space no matter what size - from ground preparation to tool selection, knowing not just which fruit and vegetable to grow but where, when and what quantities, crop rotation and how to design your space to make the most out of the conditions and resources available to you.

Good to Know:
The prestigious Ballymaloe 12 WeekCertificate Course is run three times a year, with courses beginning in January,April or May, and September.
The course is aimed at anyone with a passionate interest in food. Many of our students use the course as a springboard to become a professional chef; others use it to equip themselves with a marketable skill.
Others still take the course simply to maximize the pleasure they get from cooking at home.
Students develop a deep and detailed understanding of food and how it is produced. The emphasis is on recognising the best ingredients and knowing how to showcase them.
