View courseAll Floristry coursesPhilip Chandler
Philip Chandler, author of 'The Barefoot Beekeeper' teaches an introduction to what has become known as 'natural beekeeping', which differs in some important respects from the conventional approach to this subject. Phil will show you how keeping bees can be much easier than some would have you believe, while costing much less than you think, especially if you can do simple woodwork yourself.
You will gain a greater understanding of the role of bees in their natural world and in the context of human agriculture. You will understand the design, construction and use of a Top Bar Hive, and have a theoretical knowledge of the lifecycle of honeybees and the ways in which we can supervise and nurture them on a small scale.

Planting the Piet Oudolf Way - The New Perennial Movement with Piet Oudolf and Dr Noel Kingsbury
This course focuses on Piet’s design style with Dr Noel Kingsbury, (who has known and has helped interpret his work for over twenty years) who takes you on a tour of the Oudolf family garden at Hummelo, with Piet. They will discuss plants and plant combinations, before going inside to Piet's studio to look at planting plans and some pictures of the garden at Hummelo at different times of year.
The video will be accompanied by four assignments which are aimed at encouraging viewers to go out and look at the plants that grow around them, to help them look at plants and planting “the Oudolf way”. The idea is that wherever you are in the world, nature has beautiful and long-lasting plants which are potential garden and landscape plants.
