This is a thirty-hour training course provided by the Government of the Canary Islands Education Department and the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training through the European Social Fund.
At this event, Borja Arizón González, from the Parks and Gardens Department of the university center and a member of the institution's Cultural Classroom for Gardening, Biodiversity, and Permaculture, will lead a guided tour of the educational garden featuring native species of Tenerife. He will also demonstrate to participants the vermicomposting system, which uses earthworms to help close the organic matter cycle. This project, part of the San Fernando Residence Hall's waste recovery initiative, focuses on the vermicomposting system.
The visit will include an opportunity to observe the planting of seed bombs in the bird garden plot, the preparation of substrates for seedbeds of Canary Island flora, and the broadcast sowing of Canary Island species in the plot near the main fountain. The course will conclude with an open-air round table discussion with all the speakers in the park itself.
