The ‘Guro Village Gardener Training Program’ for adults aged 18 and over focuses on theory and practice, covering topics such as understanding garden plants and maintenance of flowerpots. Applications are open until the 16th, and the program will run for a total of 10 sessions every Tuesday and Thursday from the 17th to November 21. A certificate will be awarded upon completion of the entire course.
