Introduction to Permaculture Day

This course covers the basics of Permaculture, the design process that helps us to make more sustainable choices - from making lunch through to designing an eco house. The day will introduce participants to the core design principles and showcase inspiring examples of Permaculture in action. It assumes no previous knowledge, and can be taken by itself, or as a sampling before going on to a full 90 hour Design Course.

How to apply Permaculture to our lives.

This fun and engaging course is being held in one of the only fully functional low carbon retrofit show homes in the South of England. Oak Tree House is an existing property that has been renovated with a wide range of low carbon technology, energy efficiency measures and renewable technology.
