Home Veggie Garden Course

Are you ready to feed your family fresh, healthy vegetables right from your backyard? With Agri Skills Transfer's 1-Day Home Veggie Garden Short Course, you can learn the skills to cultivate your own nutritious crops, just like our grandparents did!

Farming is everyone’s future, and it starts with just a 3m x 5m plot of land, water for irrigation, and a passion for gardening. This course is designed to provide you with the essential knowledge of crop production, making it easy for you to implement small-scale farming successfully.

Our partnership with Laeveld Agrochem and AgricultSURE introduces the innovative Home Garden Starter Pack. This seed pack can yield approximately 100 kg of vegetables from just 15m², enough to feed a family of six for a month!

During the course, you’ll learn about pest management, proper feeding techniques for your veggies, and tips on making a profit from selling your produce. We believe in the farm-to-fork philosophy, empowering you to start your own small farming operation within your community.

Join us at 7 Van Wouw Street, Groenkloof, Pretoria, and take the first step towards self-sufficiency and food security. With the right tools and knowledge, you can turn your backyard into a flourishing vegetable garden. Enrol today and discover the joys of home gardening!
