We announce new events in the Food Garden Life Newsletter.
Masterclasses include video tutorials, online resources, and interviews. You can access the content as many times as you like.
The live events take place using Zoom. They have a mix of formal instruction, discussion, and time for questions.
Turn on your video – or leave it off. It’s up to you.
It's called "camp" because there's lots of time to ask questions. It not just an online lecture.
The live camps are recorded. You have unlimited access to the recordings. We load up other resources for you too.
If something comes up at the last minute and you can't make it to camp, you can still get all the information afterwards.
Live camp meetings take place on Zoom.
Once you enrol in the camp, you receive the link to the Zoome meetings.
If you’re attending a live “camp” you can ask your question during camp.
You can also just e-mail your instructor, whether for a camp or a self-paced masterclass.
Prices are in CAD.
There’s no risk.
If you feel a masterclass isn’t for you, we’ll give you a full refund within 30 days of purchasing it. No questions asked.
If you decide a live camp isn't for you after you attend the first gathering, we'll give you your money back. No questions asked.
If you prefer staid classes, this isn't for you. And if you don't like Canadian accents, this definitely isn't for you.
