About Mark Ridsdill Smith, your tutor
I first discovered microgreens when growing on my balcony 13 years ago. I was amazed at how productive and tasty they were. I've continued to grow and experiment with different leaves ever since. I've taught microgreens in workshops around the UK - and people always love how quickly and easily they grow.
I hope this online course will help more people discover how rewarding it can be to grow high quality and nutritious food at home. And how much cheaper, fresher and tastier it is than buying salad in plastic bags from the supermarket!
Live Course and Monthly Q&A Meetings
You can study the course anytime AND, if you prefer a more timetabled approach, you can also join a live run of the course that will include two Zoom meetings in April 2024.
Each month, from April to September (except August), I also run a live Q&A on Zoom open to all who have subscribed to the course in 2024. These are a chance to ask any further questions you have about the course.

To make it easy to grow straight away, I've put together a seed kit with enough seeds to grow a tray each of four of the best microgreens: pea shoots, rocket, radish, and sunflower. Optional and ONLY available with the course in the UK - select the PLUS Seed Starter Kit order button below.
