Hi, Just wanted to share some of our plans for the coming 2011 winter season, for those that may be interested in joining... Our interactions with people involved in our programs over the last year, have given us the sense that: People are inspired and really want to do their own vegetable gardens But, many who start out and try this face a steep learning curve and several types of demoralising difficulties (especially in early stages of planting) Those who are very serious would like to have a deeper and more detailed learning experience and some amount of mentor-ship/support in their first season While several people have had small and substantial success, we've tried to design a set of learning options that will really and practically help those who haven't. These sessions will be held primarily at the ICG Dona Paula (about an 800-1000 sq mt garden) and possibly also at Chorao Island and Taleigao. So here is what we can provide Winter Vegetable Gardening Enthusiasts... For those who are enthusiastic, but haven't an idea how to start, I would suggest one of our 2-hour “Show and Tell” session (not much technical stuff, just the bare basics) For those who'd like to have more detailed learning sessions, the 4 hour “Hands On” sessions will be in ideal initiation For those wanting a more advanced experience, we will have Full-day “A Day in a Kitchen Garden” sessions (about 6-7 hours) Lastly for those who asked for a more regular involvement, there will be a full season, 12-week “Apprenticeship Program” We will also be selling transplant-ready vegetable saplings for those people that would like to do-it-themselves but had some bad luck with germination (limited availability) Winter vegetable organic seeds will be available for sale at Green Essentials like in the past couple of seasons If you’re in Goa this winter and interested in joining in, then get registered early. We’ll get back to you with session details (dates, prices, and final venues) once we have finalized them in September. Please contact Yogita (99606-43245/2451360 and [email protected]) if you're interested in signing up.
