Un curso ideal para principiantes que quieran transformar su hogar con áreas verdes. Explica desde la selección de plantas hasta la distribución del espacio, con ejercicios prácticos y material complementario. Las explicaciones son claras y accesibles, aunque puede ser básico para quienes buscan un enfoque más avanzado.
