Come and find out more about Permaculture. From the ethics and philosophy to the principles and design, with inspiring examples of Permaculture inpractice, these courses aim to give you a good basic understanding of what Permaculture means. Get together with others to share common interests and explore how you can start to put Permaculture into action in your own lives. No experience necessary, just an interest in sustainability and working towards it.
All courses are informal, relaxed and participatory. Most courses involve indoor and outdoor sessions including talks and discussions, slideshows, nature walks,visits, group work, practical projects, games.
Taking an introductory course will enable you to go on to do a Full Design Course later.
