weekend course

introduction to permaculture

venue: the Middlewood Trust, Lancashire

Permaculture or 'permanent- culture' is a way of thinking about the world which helps us create more sustainable lives.

It is based on an ethical design process which can be applied to any aspect of your life & is a useful tool for anyone who wants a lighter footprint on the earth.

This course covers the basic ethics & principles of Permaculture design, helping you to apply these to your own situation & create a more sustainable lifestyle.

Lunch will be provided each day. Bring your own food for evening meal and breakfast; cooking facilities and cutlery/crockery are available in our bunkhouse. Bunk house, yurt accommodation and camping available. Bring a sleeping bag.
