Who is this course for?
This course is designed to improve the skills of specialists in the field of growing ornamental plants. It is also suitable for those who design, create greenhouses and conservatories, urban farming and “miniature gardens” (florariums). Of course, it will be of interest to substrate specialists. It can also be visited by knowledgeable lovers who are interested in growing indoor plants.
What will you learn?
From the course we will learn about the features of caring for plants in a greenhouse, the intricacies of growing them in greenhouse conditions, about fertilizers and substrates. Students will be told what types of greenhouses and greenhouses there are, what mode is suitable for growing different types of plants. It is also expected to master the technology of creating a florium.
How are classes going?
Classes will be conducted in the form of lectures, using visual material (for example, a florarium). Upon successful completion of the training, students are issued a certificate.
