Introduction To Permaculture

This is an introduction to the basics of permaculture design, and how this practice can be applied to individual circumstances in order to facilitate a move towards sustainability. This two day 'taster' weekend at Spitalfields City Farm will create opportunities to actively learn about the ethics and principles of permaculture in an inspiring and productive urban farm.

Over the weekend we will cover:

Origins of Permaculture

Ethics and Principles

Design methods

Examples of permaculture in practice

Observation

A practical exercise

An overview of the permaculture network and how to find out more.

Permaculture uses whole system thinking to consciously create productive environments that work with the diversity, stability and resilience of natural systems.

The course is a stand alone course or gives you access onto various Full Design Courses (72hr+)

This is one of twelve introductory courses based at East London City Farms and Green peppers Orchard in Camden.

Each course will be lead by members of the London Permaculture Network.
