Introduction To Permaculture Course Wednesdays July 10th & 17th across 2 morning sessions 9.30am-12.30pm An introduction course, with practical activities in our garden. Formatted across 2 mornings to be accessible to flexible part-time workers, carers, parents and others.

We also have a single day intro to permaculture course on Saturday 14 September. We can share lunch together afterwards on each day, to give more space to talk and connect.

What's in the course? First of all, you don't need to know anything about permaculture or gardening to come on this course. We start at the beginning. You will learn about ethics and principles of permaculture, how to observe deeper, and be introduced to design tools.

You will start to see how to apply permaculture in your life. You'll learn together in a small group. Permaculture can be thought of as a holistic design toolkit. A what?

Well, it brings everything together, joins the dots. And there's a whole load of aspects to it - from ethics at the core, to different design tools you can use to help find your way.

Because of this, it's not just helpful in the garden! It can help you create effective, efficient, healthy systems of any kind.

That may be a new compost bin, sure. It might also be a more thriving way of life. What's very likely is that what you discover on this course will open doors.

We hope you'll leave having learned lots, also leave wanting to learn more. Part of the course will be focused on practical skills - composting and creating edible and useful polyculture plantings.
