19th, 20th, 21st November 2010

Venue – Trill Farm, Musbury, East Devon – http://www.trillfarm.co.uk/

The word permaculture derives from “permanent agriculture” and “permanent culture”. In practice it is sustainable land use design, based on an understanding of systems in nature and ethical principles. Permaculture design creates stable productive systems to provide food, shelter, energy and community in ways that are healthy for the environment and us.

This exciting and dynamic course, will enable you to create a more sustainable lifestyle. It stresses working with nature and will help you identify steps for positive change for yourself, your family and your community. It is ethical, creative and inspiring and gives a blueprint for our survival and the repair of our degraded planet.

Participants can attend this course as day visitors or enjoy a fully residential weekend.
