Permaculture is about creating sustainable human habitats by following nature's patterns. An ecological design system that inspires and empowers us to create our own solutions to local and global problems, it provides ways to design and create healthy productive places to work, rest and play. more..... News > > Permaculture Convergence 2008 - Book your place now! The UK's number one permaculture gathering will take place from 5-7th September at the Nell Bank Centre near Ilkley, West Yorkshire.

Our website > > Over the last 9 months there has been a minimum amount of work done on this website to allow us to spend time on creating a completely new site. So, apologies if you have been disappointed at all with what you have found here recently. The new website will contain all the information on this site with a few new features, and with huge potential for much more development in the future. The build of the new site will enable people in the permaculture community more opportunities to contribute content and collaborate with us on development. We are experiencing ever increasing visitors, and so we intend the new site to be more informative, more interactive and a more useful tool for practitioners of permaculture. We aim to switch to the new site in September 2008 and are really excited about its potential to support the aims of the Permaculture Association in Britain and around the world in new and creative ways. We hope you'll love it too! Contact Debbie with any questions. Local Food Fund >> Association survey > > View the results here! Thank you to everyone who filled in the survey.
