“The Introduction to Permaculture is an affordable way for people to explore permaculture and enables them to learn about it before committing to a permaculture design course (known as a ‘PDC’). It gives the student the basic knowledge of permaculture but also starts the flow of a creative process to help them change the way they see the world and to reframe and broaden their thinking. It gives them an insight into the fundamentals of permaculture whilst discovering new techniques they can use in all areas of their lives. It inspires them to confidently start to put into practice the theory they have learned.”
