'We became teachers because we had something we needed to share'
Mike Kaplin Co-Founder and Educator at the Center for Creative Ecology
There has never been a better time to learn organic gardening. Times are changing and we need to get back to our 'roots' and grow our own food.
Do you honestly want to eat an industrial tomato or a juicy organic one?
Do you really want to eat a watery carrot or one bursting with flavor?

Did you know...
That tomatos are one of the most heavily sprayed veggies on the planet? Why not grow your own?
Did you know that pesticides are linked to lowered fertility, cancer and other diseases and that children are especially susceptible to their actions. Why would you even THINK of putting commercial fruits and veggies in your mouth?
Is this your experience?
You go to the supermarket and the veggies look terrible. They even smell chemical and you remember the carrots that you bought from here last week. They tasted…well…of nothing actually.
Those organic carrots you ate a month ago at your friend’s house was just divine. However, the organic section in the supermarket seems too expensive.
You would love to start growing your own veggies but you don’t know where to start! Do you have the time, patience and know how?
Are you looking for better food on your plate?
The Organic Gardening course is created and taught by The Center for Creative Ecology (CfCE) which is based in the beautiful oasis of Kibbutz Lotan in the southern Arava desert of Israel.
We turned a dry, dusty desert into a Garden of Eden with minimal water and our bare hands. We know from trial and error how to grow our own food, build our own homes and create our own energy. We have been teaching organic gardening, sustainability, permaculture and so much more for over twenty years!
We believe the greatest superpower you can have in this lifetime is to grow your own food, create your own energy and live off the land whilst making minimal impact.
We have a physical campus in Israel and now we are also ONLINE so no matter where you are in the world, we can teach you.
