Visual learning resources that demonstrate sustainable gardening techniques, environmental education activities, and traditional agricultural practices. Our videos provide clear, step-by-step instruction for learners of all levels.
This comprehensive tutorial demonstrates how to build a keyhole garden, an innovative raised bed design that conserves water and maximizes productivity in small spaces. The video covers site selection, material gathering, construction techniques, and planting strategies.
Keyhole gardens are particularly well-suited for arid regions and areas with poor soil quality. This design incorporates a central composting basket that continuously feeds nutrients to surrounding plants while minimizing water requirements.
