Over two days, we’ll introduce what permaculture is, the principles and ethics that sit behind it, and you’ll uncover some of the tools and techniques for permaculture design. We’ll delve into some of the key permaculture topics, including building fantastic soil and working with trees, and we’ll walk you through the patterns of nature and how to apply them in design. The weekend will conclude with a design exercise for you to apply what you’ve learned. The course is fully accredited and CPD accredited too, and participants can receive certificates for both accreditations upon completion.
