Group Visit Scheme (GVS)

The Group Visit Scheme enables groups of people who are interested in permaculture to visit LAND centres across England and learn how permaculture is practised.

If your group has an interest in food growing or starting up a local project why not take part in the Group Visit Scheme and see how our LAND  centres practice permaculture. It's free to take part and the Permaculture Association will pay towards your expenses.

If your group is interested please complete the Group Application Pack.  If you have questions please do contact us.

LAND centres please refer to the Host Pack.
