MIT courses on horticulture this month

New Zealand
Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) is offering National Certificate Horticulture Level 2 courses at selected Manukau City Council community houses from July 20.

This is a joint initiative with the Manukau City Council aimed at bringing learning to the community.

“The courses will equip members of the community with key horticulture skills. Vegetable Growing will be available at Highland Park and Clover Park Community Houses to enable people to grow healthy vegetables and become more self-sufficient,” official sources said.

MIT will run its Soft Landscaping course at the Mangere Community House, teaching students to grow native plants, pruning techniques and selecting the best plants for landscaping.

These are full-time courses, running up to 18 weeks (four days a week) from 9 am to 3 pm and would cost $300 per course.

Enrolment is restricted to citizens and permanent residents.
