This course is aimed at urban dwellers who want to work out how to improve it, towards a truly
sustainable future. Participants should ideally have completed an introduction to permaculture course or have some experience/knowledge of permaculture before attending this course.

On a full permaculture design course you will learn how to fit together the elements of sustainable living including food, shelter, energy and community, in a healthy, productive, integrated system. We can use permaculture design methods to improve the quality and productivity of our individual lives, our society and our environment, using principles including ‘minimum effort for maximum effect’. You will also complete a design project, learning how to apply your new knowledge.
If you cannot make one of the weekends, it is possible to make up for this module by attending a
module of the course being run concurrently in Edinburgh (also over weekends).
