Course summary

This course is the best of both online and in person learning - We will visit 6+ different permaculture sites in Glasow area - experiencing different ways of doing permaculture, learning from the people who designed, created and/or manage the site. Sites include a community garden, food forest in a park, private garden, incredible edible, and a market garden.

In addition there are 23+ hours of online content, which includes nearly 17 hours of videos to watch. High quality videos have been made by permaculture educators from around the world including Lusi Alderslowe, Lorraine Ishak (Galloway), Clive Brandon (Black Isle, Scotland), Mandy Merklein (Mallorca), Nim Robins (Wales), Morag Gamble (Australia), Joe Atkinson (England), Jemma Findley,  Ian Solomon-Kawall, Chris Evans, Looby Macnamara, and more! These will all be available for you to watch indefinitely, so that you can keep referring back to them in your future permaculture projects. 

In person sessions will take place over six Saturdays 10am-5pm. Online sessions are a combination of set content (videos to watch or articles to read) and fully interactive Zoom (online teleconference) sessions on Tuesday evenings.
