Permaculture Design 101 & 202[/size]
Dates: Nov 20 & 21, 2010 - 10:00 am - 5:30 pm
Location: Seattle University, Seattle, WA
Instructor: Dave Boehnlein
Cost: $25-35 sliding scale, per workshop
Brief Descriptions: -Permaculture Design 101- This fun six hour introductory workshop will take you through the
permaculture basics, give excellent examples of permaculture in
action, and guide you through fun and insightful hands-on projects.
You will learn:
•Permaculture History & Definitions
•Ethics
•Design Principles
Afterward you will take a virtual slideshow tour of permaculture in
action at three different scales:
•Urban Backyard
•Rural Homestead
•Community/Regional Level Initiatives
You will end the day by getting a chance to put what you’ve learned
into practice by working on a design scenario with a team of your
peers.
-Permaculture Design 202- Permaculture Design 202 builds on information presented in
Permaculture Design 101. We recommend either having taken PC Design
101 or have equivalent knowledge of permaculture ethics and principles
before taking PC Design 202.
In this workshop you will learn about:
•Site Assessment – observation, landscape reading, and research tools
•The Process of Permaculture Design and Design Methods – how to begin
and generate ideas
•Implementation Planning – the “soft” and “hard” skills necessary to
install a permaculture
project Each segment will involve going outside to practice what you’ve
learned. We will be going outside rain or shine, so make sure you come
with appropriate clothing. At the end of the day you will get a chance
to work with a team to design a permaculture project on a real piece
of land near the workshop site.
In addition, both workshops will provide an excellent chance to
network with other folks in your area interested in permaculture
design, resiliency building & sustainability.
The workshop is taught by Dave Boehnlein, who serves as the principal
for Terra Phoenix Design (
