Introduction To Permaculture Course

This course will cover the basics of permaculture design and how this approach can be applied to
most circumstances in order to facilitate a move towards sustainability. This two day 'taster'
weekend is at Stepney City Farm (an inspiration). The farm has become a model urban working farm combining animal husbandry and food growing.

Over the weekend we will cover:
• Origins of Permaculture
• Ethics and Principles
• Design methods
• Examples of permaculture in practice;
Forest Gardening & Permaculture gardening
• Observation
• A practical exercise
• A Film & 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 natural systems.

The course is a stand alone course or gives you access onto various Full Design Courses.
