What is Permaculture?
Consciously designed landscapes, which mimic the patterns and relationships found in nature, while yielding an abundance of food, fiber and energy for provision of local needs. People, their buildings and the ways in which they organize themselves are central to permaculture. Thus the permaculture vision of permanent or sustainable agriculture has evolved to one of permanent or sustainable culture.
The Course, Permaculture Fundamentals, is an unparalleled opportunity to experience world class instruction, this course presents the elements of natural and cultivated systems in the permaculture curriculum. The Course, Permaculture Design Practicum provides training in practical design for properties and human settlements will cover site assessment, pattern languages, broadscale landscapes, community and social design, mapping, and presentation. We will draw on the resources of the metropolitan region and a large park-like site combining education, residence, work and community as we design for the next seven generations.
