What is Permaculture? Permaculture is a sustainable design system that provides for human needs while having positive effects on the surrounding environment.
It is based on the ethics of earth care, people care and fair share, and provides practical solutions to the global crises we are currently facing.
Permaculture is for EVERYONE, regardless of their education, background, or previous experience.
Permaculture is NOT just about trees, or just about gardening! You don't need loads of land to practice it and it's a design method that can be applied to all social systems.

I couldn’t load these last time I updated, but I know you’ll have waiting with baited breath. So here is the volunteer space today, complete with a shirtless Nelson. It doesn’t take much to separate him from it!
Nelson is working flat out. I know that doesn’t seem in character, but I actually saw him with my own eyes here before 9am last week!
We’ve been planning a common room / dining room / shower area for volunteers and visitors for some time, but the Permaculture Design Course we’re holding here in […]
