Become a producer, as well as a consumer! Learn how to meet more of your basic needs for food, water, and energy at home by applying Permaculture ethics, which originate from indigenous cultures, and the Permaculture Principles, which mimic nature. In this workshop we’ll also examine examples of Permaculture Designs in a variety of settings - urban, suburban, rural, residential, agricultural and institutional.
This workshop will include an outdoor practicum and will cover the following topics:
*What is Permaculture Design?
*Indigenous Origins
*Permaculture Ethics
*Permaculture Principals - Team Exercise (outdoors)
*Site-specific Design
*Examples of Permaculture Designs
*Climate Change response
When: Sunday, October 26 from 10.30am to 12.30pm
Where: Montgomery College, 7719 Chicago Avenue, Takoma Park, MD, 20912
Cost: $25 (we have a limited number of free spaces for those who can’t afford the workshop. Please email us at [email protected] to find out more).
This is a stand alone workshop designed to introduce participants to the basics of permaculture. But if you’d like to deepen your knowledge and/or learn more about how to design your own site, then we’re also running another permaculture workshop two weeks after this one, on November 9th.
