Permaculture is a whole systems method of design that offers
guidelines for ways we can create a more permanent culture by
conserving resources in all aspects of living. By considering the
'big picture' of thoughtful integration of land, water, plants,
people, animals, shelter, technologies and community, productive
self-reliant environments evolve.
The purpose of this workshop is to create a comfortable, supportive
environment for women to learn Permaculture philosophy, principles,
strategies, and sample techniques.
During this workshop, we will concentrate on practical examples of
how to design efficient, productive, and beautiful surroundings.
There will be a special focus on grey water systems and
multi-functional hedgerows.
