Event summary

Build Your Permaculture Place: a dedicated day for changemakers

Friday 9th September, 14:00 to 17:30

Held as part of the Permaculture Convergence at Hill End near Oxford

Do you already run a permaculture project/ LAND centre, or are you interested in developing one? Do you want to create a place that is a thriving local hub for permaculture in your area? Join us on Friday 8th September for a dedicated afternoon specifically designed for you!



The iACT project, funded by the EU, exists to increase the number and quality of sites across Europe demonstrating permaculture and sustainable living to the public. PAB are one of 7 EU partners taking part in the project, and in collaboration with the UK LAND network we are developing a set of tools and courses to help you build your permaculture place.



PAB’s Projects & LAND Team will introduce you to the new toolkit, good practice guide and LAND learner pilot programme. This has been developed to support projects like yours take the next step in becoming recognised places of permaculture demonstration and learning.
