Plan, grow and sell vegetables and herbs at a small scale for direct sale — covering production planning, crop calendars, quality, marketing and the simple business skills that make a market garden profitable.
Growing food is a skill. Selling it is a business. Market gardening — growing vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers on a small scale for direct sale — is one of the most accessible ways to turn gardening skill into income, and it is thriving across Africa as urban and community demand for fresh produce grows.
Across five modules you will learn how to plan production around real demand, grow consistently high-quality crops, market and sell them, and keep the simple records and budgets that decide whether a garden becomes a business.
