Workshops
Our long-term plan is for Metchosin Farm to offer a wide variety of workshops and classes. Watch this space in the coming year for a full description of our organic gardening workshops, prices, and the dates they will run. Below is a tentative list of topics.
Please let us know if you are interested in taking a particular course so we can keep you advised about its development. Likewise, if you are interested in learning about a topic that we have not listed please let us know so we can consider including it.
All workshops are held at our farm in Metchosin and include a 'zero-kilometre' farm lunch as part of your workshop fee.
