Learn and practice the art of organic gardening while participating in the Himalayan Institute Residential Program. This five-month apprenticeship provides hands-on experience and training in organic gardening techniques, as well as the full range of educational programs and community activities available to Institute residents.
We will focus on organic methods for composting, mulching, seed propagation, greenhouse techniques, plant selection, crop planning, bed preparation, soil types, planting calendars, pest and pathogen control, seed saving, irrigation, and cultivation.
