Saturday & Sunday, July 11 & 12, Introduction to Permaculture course

Permaculture is a world view which opens people up to the vision of a sustainable future. In this introduction you will learn about intelligent organic gardening and design principles as well as issues surrounding sustainable behaviour, both in and out of the compost heap! Permaculture is much more than just growing your own food, it is about skill sharing, using resources wisely and connecting with your community. It incorporates everyone, and encourages diversity, whilst empowering individuals into self sufficiency and resilience. The course will cover all the basics of permaculture and organic gardnening (i.e. composting, good soil, seed saving etc), and go into resource management, community building and touch on design.
