This course provides an overview of what permaculture is all about and how it can help you to design a more sustainable, yet more abundant lifestyle. The venue, Park House, consists of 12.7 acres of woodland, arable land and gardens 4 miles from the city centre.
Although permaculture is
most commonly thought about in connection with gardening and farming, its
principles, ethics and design methods can be adapted and used in
individual's own work, interests and home and offers a perspective on all aspects of
building a sustainable future. Permaculture encourages us to use our individual
skills, knowledge and interests, whilst drawing on traditional wisdom, science
and our innate ability to observe and learn from the world around us.
Permaculture is about meeting fundamental human needs by mimicking the design
of natural systems. A simple way to understand this is to consider something
you don’t want (waste) being used creatively as new input to the system. In
this way problems can become the source of solutions. The elegance of systems
designed on permaculture principles is in their simplicity and functionality. (Deepak Rughani)
