Permaculture Course

Permaculture offers a perspective on all aspects of constructing a sustainable future. Permaculture encourages us to use our individual knowledge, skills and interests, whilst drawing on science, traditional wisdom and our innate ability to observe and learn from our world around us. And that is why we are offering the permaculture course.

 

After this course, depending on the development of the program, we hope to offer an internationally recognised 72-hour Permaculture Design Certificate Course.

​

Learning outcomes are in line with the following:

-         To observe patterns in nature & apply what we learn to create guiding principles.

-         To use permaculture ethics, principles & design tools to create sustainable systems.
