Course Title: Introduction to Permaculture
This is a 6 day practical course in permaculture techniques and methods for those who have little or no knowledge and experience in Permaculture or gardening practice. The course focus is to introduce basic permaculture concepts, principles and approaches with a strong practical focus on the gardening aspect of permaculture.
We look at the ecological approach to food and resource production rather than design, which is the focus of the Permaculture Design Course (PDC). This course is the ideal bridging course for the PDC as it is simple, applied permaculture.
We will cover all the basic skills required to plan, implement and manage ecological food production systems and provide the participant with a good working knowledge of Permaculture. It is suited to those working in the field of community food garden development and management, where broad scale permaculture design skills are not required.
