Make a difference

Straw bale building, plaster techniques and fun socialising activities; this sustainable building week will not disappoint if you’re looking to learn more about building green. A topical course like this certainly deserves a spot in our Hall of Fame.

If you’re keen to escape the bustle of the city and go back to basics, we would highly recommend this nature awareness course. What Chris Park doesn’t know about nature is not worth knowing; so a day at Westmill Farm learning about natural crafts and skills, is a day very well spent indeed.

Sustainable eco-tourism at its best. This retreat at a fantastic eco-lodge caught our eye for its great combination of yoga, healthy food and most importantly, its sensible approach to green travelling.

We’re very impressed by Dick Strawbridge’s sustainability course that sets an excellent example to sustainable living. At his home at Newhouse Farm you’ll learn about energy saving systems and permaculture and find inspiration to a more sustainable way of life.

We're always on the lookout for sustainability courses and we really love this no-dig gardening course, taught by Charles Dowding. With advice, tips and tricks, Charles will teach you everything worth knowing about organic gardening. Dig that!
