“Permaculture is a design system for creating sustainable human environments. It’s the harmonious integration of landscape and people.” -Bill Mollison
"What permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that any group is doing on the planet". - David Suzuki
Founded in the 1970s’ in Australia, permaculture has grown into a global movement, with an increasing profile here in the Maritimes. Permaculture is a holistic, values-based design method that balances our human needs with our social imperative to care for our environment and each other. This full-day, participatory workshop, which offers both theoretical discussion and hands-on learning, is a comprehensive introduction to permaculture’s defining ethics and principles, and how they offer a progressive model for positive change. Perhaps you’ve heard about permaculture and want to learn more? Or maybe you’re interested in learning a new approach to designing your work? Or connecting your life more intimately to the natural world? Come join us for the day and gain insights, inspiration, and tools to become an active member of the global permaculture movement!
