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. Collaborative delivery approach The Botanic Gardens
