Planning & Designing Your Permaculture Garden
June
Cost $395 early bird
Embark on a 2 day immersion into design. You’ll be applying Bill Mollison’s “Methods of Design”, a core component of a PDC, to plan and design a Permaculture landscape. Guided by the Pemaculture ethics & principles and a step-by-step design process, you’ll be taking a project from its vision & brief to a concept plan and supporting drawings that will beautifully illustrate your rationale & response to the design challenge.
On completion, you’ll be equipped with a designer’s tool kit that will enable you to engage your family, friends and community in designing your own permaculture garden project.
The workshop engages youth and adult, those new too as well as experienced with design. We’ll highlight the innate wisdom and ability that all communities have in making good planning and design decisions and finding creative solutions through the Permaculture Methods of Design.
