A family permaculture experience will enable both you and your children to learn about permaculture whilst having lots of fun, spending most of your days in nature. You can camp or take a family room in the majestic old home for 5 days of learning, playing and experiencing permaculture together. There will be a mix of activities for the whole family to participate together, and times we split into groups for age-appropriate learning.

Course details
We would like to offer families the opportunity to learn about:
• Observation / Surveying tools
• Making maps
• Tree ID
• making fires
• seeing and using patterns in nature and design
• noticing and using micro-climates
• and to do a small design project

Certificate
We will issue our own certificate of completion of the course for attendees.
In addition, the course can count as between 1 and 2.5 modules of a full permaculture
design course . If you would like to do the full design course, accredited by the
Permaculture Association (Britain), then you can complete the course in Scotland, on
any of the modular courses run in Scotland, such as those run in Glasgow, Edinburgh,
Kilmartin or Coldstream.
