‘Introduction to Permaculture’ Gardening Course
This weekend course is ideal for you if you want to start growing your own fruit, vegetables and herbs in a natural, ecological way. It covers the basics of permaculture design as well as demonstrating practically how to transform a property into a lush productive food system.
Courses are hosted in different locations with each venue offering a slightly different focus. If you find that there is no more space on the course at the venue and date of your preference please consider attending one of the courses at the another venue. There is more than enough overlapping that you are bound to take away lots to process.
