Think green with the WEA
Our Environment courses are a key part of our curriculum and are always popular. They give learners the opportunity to explore a wide range of topics, including gardening.
What Environmental and Gardening topics are available?
As our understanding of the natural world has changed over many decades, the popularity of our environment and gardening courses has continued to grow. Regarded as perhaps the biggest challenge the human race has ever encountered, climate change and its impact on the environment is just one of many topics that you can immerse yourself in, alongside your fellow learners.
Whether it’s studying online or in person, the wide range of topics is sure to grab your interest. From the cleanliness of water and what can be done to alleviate droughts, to re-wilding and the British countryside, you’ll be immersed in topical issues that are impacting individuals across the UK and around the world.
And if you have a green thumb, our gardening courses will teach you how to cultivate and care for plants, promoting sustainable practices at home. You'll learn everything from basic plant care to windowsill planting techniques.
