Course Description
A garden adds to the appeal of any property; residential or commercial. However, maintaining a garden is not easy if you do not possess the right maintenance skills. To efficiently maintain a garden, you should know about the different plants in the garden and their specific maintenance needs. Different plants have different needs; some require daily watering while others just need watering once a week.
It is for this reason that everyone with a garden or one charged with taking care of one should possess the right garden maintenance skills. Our course will enlighten the student on the various garden plants and flowers and the type of climate they are mostly suited. The learner will also know about common pests and diseases that affect common plants and flowers.
