Course summary

2 Day Introduction to Permaculture Course, focusing on creative solutions for the kind of marginal land and environment we have here in the West of Ireland (you know, over a metre of rain a year, acid soil... windy!).

The course is based around practical activities supported by short, focused theoretical sessions to help you gain a good understanding of how to apply permaculture to our unique climate and landscape.

A hands on, Action-led, ‘Perma-blitz’ style workshop where you will learn about Permaculture; the ethics and principles of Permaculture Design, how to approach laying out a site, and practical applications onsite including: Wind and Water management (how to design wind breaks and swales), Introduction to Food Forests, Extending the growing seasons, Composting Systems, Polycultures and Guilds, and no-dig gardening.
