Patrick Whitefield's Permaculture in Five Days

The complete permaculture course for people with busy lives. In five days, two of which are a weekend, we cover the most essential parts of the Permaculture Design Course. The emphasis is on the part you can't get from books: the design exercises.

Guided by your tutor, Patrick Whitefield, author of The Earth Care Manual, and working in a group, you will experience the whole of the permaculture design process. By the end of the course you will be able to go home and make a successful design for your own garden, smallholding or farm.

The information content focusses mainly on permaculture as it can be practiced in the domestic garden. We also make full use of the organic market garden at the venue as an example site.
