Level 04 – AELP. Agriculture Experiential Learning Program. Practical, Project-Based and Experiential Skill Training.
You learn to treat a home garden as a manageable system—light, soil or media, water, and plant choice—rather than a collection of random pots. Sessions combine planning and hands-on care so you can grow vegetables and ornamentals on terraces, balconies, or small plots, and maintain them through changing seasons. The same skills support personal food gardening or a structured home-garden maintenance service for clients.
