FORMAT

Almost all of our Workshops start at 9:00am on Saturday and finish at 6:00pm on Sunday.

CHILDREN

El Manzano is children and family friendly! While we know that students are easily distracted from intensive study by their children we also know that kids can gain a lot from the interactions on a course. Please contact us if you want to bring your family for the weekend.

TRANSPORT

Please work with us to coordinate your transport to and from El Manzano. The best option is to catch a lift with another student coming from your area and to share costs. The bus arrives at Cruce de Cabrero regularly where we can pick you up, but you need to plan ahead because we will only do one trip per day.  

DESIGN CONSULT

Students will have the opportunity to work with experienced Designers and Gardeners during the course, and to get one on one design support before or after on their own site. We charge separately for this service.
