wp>Today, the RHS announces the launch of the world’s first global online gardening for wildlife course- to educate people on planting and creating attractive habitats for wildlife in their gardens. The course is bookable from September 7 via both The RHS and The MyGardenSchool websites.
The four week online only course is unique in that you get video lectures, weekly assignments, a downloadable e-book, and an online classroom with personal feedback from a world expert throughout the course. The gardening for wildlife course is tutored by acclaimed horticulturist and RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medal record holder, Andy McIndoe who students will meet and have their work marked by in the virtual classroom. The Gardening for Wildlife course starts on the first Saturday of every month, costs £145 and is only bookable two months in advance.
Dan Wolfe, Director of Marketing at The RHS, said: “Both organisations are passionate about educating the next gardening generation online, so it was a natural fit for us all to join forces and help to bring a global audience the opportunity to learn more about gardening for wildlife via the internet. Not everyone can always get to face-to-face courses and lectures, and yet we feel that everyone should have the opportunity to learn from a gardening expert, wherever you are in the world.”
RHS Advisory and RHS Education teams have been heavily involved in the production of the course from conception through to delivery. Photography has been supplied by world-leading wildlife photographer, David Tipling.
The course is bookable now via www.rhs.org.uk/courses or www.my-garden-school.com/courses
