Course summary

Join us on this exciting opportunity to learn about permaculture on the Isle of Eigg. The course will be tailored to include the Hazel Guild standard introduction to permaculture, and finding out about the incredible history of the Isle of Eigg, land reform, and some great practicals in this beautiful and unusual venue.

The introduction to permaculture gives the basic grounding in what permaculture is and how it can be applied, including an overview of the full design course. In general we are indoors in the morning and outdoors in the afternoon.

Topics:
* What is permaculture?
* Permaculture Ethics
* Mollison principles
* Examples of permaculture in action
* Permaculture Design

Practicals will depend on what work is needing done on the site. In the past this has included composting, building raised beds, building a herb spiral, creating a Hugel/lasagne bed, sowing seeds, building a compost toilet and more.

Food and accomodation will be provided.
