Keeping Food Real

This course is amazing! I was able to keep my garden going for a few extra weeks and was able to save some seeds from this years bounty. Easy to follow and great tips and advise. I highly recommend this course to anyone who lives in a cold climate.

This course was a great balance of rich knowledge, visuals and practical suggestions for your garden in cold climates. The instructors gave you insightful feedback and the course provided you with a solid pathway to creating a successful garden.

I registered for this course in the late spring during a promotion for a discount on the registration cost. As a result I got 3/4 of the way through before I started working in my garden and have just started working on the course again.This course has great information for a beginner gardener. I have been gardening off and on my whole life and was looking for “an edge” to take my garden to the next level. Most of the information in the course I already knew and was already using to some degree with a few new-to-me “Ah-ha” points. However I did recommend it to a newer gardening friend because it covers the basics well.The customer service/course support is awesome. My emails were all answered promptly and in a friendly manner.The course includes some short videos and a few bonus pages you can print. There is a workbook to print at the start and by completing it you have a short overview of the course. The course references a specific book and makes reading recommendations to it but access to those portions of the book is not included and the book needs to be purchased separately if you want to read them.My only complaint is not being able to access a PDF/printable version along side the online course. It is not easy to refer back to material already covered (I flip back-and-forth often as I go) and I found the embedded highlighting/note taking tool hard to use. Both of these points could be resolved with a print version.Overall I think that this is a great course, well thought out and set up. I have enjoyed working through it, it just wasn’t exactly what I was looking for and that’s okay. I would recommend the course to a new gardener but not someone looking for that “little bit more.”
