Local Harvest Organic Gardening Course

Learn the essentials of organic, no-till vegetable gardening with a special focus on composting, succession planting and winter gardening.

The Natural Way

We believe that the time proven systems in nature are the best way to grow plants. Our gardening principles teach our students to work with nature to maximize success in the garden. We teach you how to nurture soil organisms so that they in turn can feed the garden plants. We know that by fostering a bio-diverse community of plants, fungi, bacteria, and animals in the garden, we are, in a small way, mitigating the industrial and chemical damage caused to our suffering ecosystems.

This course is created with home gardeners in mind but also includes content that is relevant to market gardeners and for people who want to learn more about regenerative agriculture.

Visual Learners

Our lessons are captured on video and delivered to you. They are deliberately unscripted to give our course participants as realistic an experience as possible. Most of the footage is outdoors in real gardens so that the principles can be shown as they are discussed. This is the closest thing to in-person learning.

We are taking a pause in 2023, but we continue to film content for a planned 2024 course release. All new members who join us in 2023 will receive full access to 2024’s course and Q&A support webinars at no further cost once released. For now, you will gain immediate access to our 2022 course content which is spread across four modules. An unlinked copy of the video table of contents from our 2022 members’ area is appended below. Click/tap each module heading to see the expanded video list:

Our 2022 course curriculum covers the principles of organic gardening in a practical, easy to understand way that will help you get higher yields of nutrient rich food with fewer weeds and with less effort. You’ll learn how to grow more food on less space so that you can eat from your garden every day of the year. Via the members’ area, you will also gain access to all the recordings of 2022’s monthly Q&A webinars (May-September).

Our aim is to equip gardeners so you can make good decisions in your own context and build confidence to stand on your own two feet for future growing seasons. The principles we share are applicable to all growing regions; they will work with nature and your indigenous biology.

• 
  
  Learn how to grow food naturally either in your yard or through container growing.
• 
  
  Build micro-organism and nutrient rich fertile soil through three types of composting.
• 
  
  How to convert your yard into a beautiful edible landscape.
• 
  
  Succession planting: how to save seed and achieve a year-round harvest.
• 
  
  How to incorporate biodiversity to achieve natural, effective pest control.
• 
  
  How to setup an automatic irrigation system and use cold frames, row covers & greenhouses for season extension.
• 
  
  Lifetime access to our members only discussion forum, including Q&A support from our community of fellow gardeners.

When you register, you’ll gain immediate access to the members’ area which includes the 12 module videos for the 2022 course (about 5 hours of content), plus 22 video vignettes on a range of topics (about 4 hours of content). All 2022 webinar recordings also remain available.

Your membership will also give you lifetime access to the forthcoming 2024 course curriculum at no further cost, which we plan to release in early 2024.

We will not be releasing a 2023 course. Dan’s market garden at Local Harvest has undergone a 5 acre expansion and his family is now intensively farming nearly 30 acres. This is demanding all his time and attention. Similarly, Jack is actively building his plant farm at Fruits and Shoots and is devoting his energy towards adding a wider variety of edible perennials and plants to attract beneficials for local gardeners.

Filming and documenting of content for the 2024 gardening course will continue through 2023, and we hope to release a revised, easy to follow, in-depth course early in 2024. All new members who join us in 2023 will receive full access to all forthcoming 2024 course content for life. You will also receive Q&A support throughout 2024 once we resume Q&A webinars, likely from March 2024.

During the month of May 2023, we will also be releasing the recordings to a 7-part, in-person gardening course that was filmed in March and April of 2023. All recordings will be added to the members’ area before the end of May 2023. The in-person course was run over two days and includes about 7-hours of content. The first day’s session was held at Local Harvest in March 2023, and day two was taught at Fruits & Shoots Plant Farm in April 2023.

We’re located in the Pacific Northwest, however the principles we outline are applicable to all growing zones; only the timing of the steps will differ.

I look forward to welcoming you into our community.

Warmly,
