PERMACULTURE CAN BE DEFINED AS A DESIGN SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABLE
LIVING.It considers the patterns and relationships observed in nature;
landscape, plant systems, flora and fauna, and the inter-relationships
between them.
Permaculture imitates natural systems to provide a healthy and
maintainable life style, yield bumper crops, recycled waste and low
energy use housing.
In this two day intensive course you will be introduced to the
underlying ethics, domains and principles which govern this design
philosophy.
Permaculture practice and thinking can provide you with a strong
‘recipe’ of checks and balances to guide you through various
aspects of living sustainably, from urban food production to using our
built environments sustainably.
Ethics & Domain – what do you already know? Learn how to wrap
practice and thinking in an ecological framework.
Bill Mollison – the founder of Permaculture - built a base of 10
design principles. David Holmgren, the co-founder, works with 12
principles. Together, we explore these principles and begin to
consider how you can use them to create a more satisfying and
resilient lifestyle.
This information-packed course is suitable for home gardeners,
professional horticultural staff and anyone interested in living
sustainably in a changing climate.
