Introduction to Permaculture Design Course
Using whole-systems thinking, permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of productive ecosystems based on applying principles that reflect the diversity, stability and resilience of nature.
​
This 20 hour introductory course will take participants through the foundations and theory of permaculture, work through some of the design exercises and apply the concepts to a collaborative design project for your community, property or workplace. In 2023, the project was a design for the Strathmore High School Community Greenhouse space.
