More information about the course and speakers:
Whether you have
experience in
gardening, farming or
Permaculture or are have no experience and are looking to learn, this course offers something for everyone.
Permaculture is a form of
sustainable and regenerative agriculture which has a focus on the use of
perennial edible food plants as the basis for providing a family's food, as an alternative to annual plants that require replanting every year. It is one of the most productive forms of agriculture due to intensive plantings and the use of support plants which provide natural fertilization and improved pollination and higher yields. With a minimal amount of annual maintenance and low or no usage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it also is the form of agriculture with the lowest
energy inputs and smallest
carbon footprint. In the Introduction to
Permaculture Course you will learn the Ethics and Principles of Permaculture, the design philosophy and science, and the practical application methods for using permaculture in your own back
yard gardens or farms.
Cynthia Acebo, Jenn MacAusland and Graham Towerton have a combined total of 40 years of practical permaculture experience as designers, installers and consultants.
