INTRODUCTION TO PERMACULTURE

EAT FRESH & HEALTHY FOOD, ORGANIC & IN-SEASON
Enjoy the full flavour and vibrant health of food grown in healthy, organic
soils, bursting with nutrients, life and vitality.

TURN FOOD MILES INTO FOOD METRES
Rather than relying on fossil fuels to grow your food via pesticides,
herbicides, fungicides and chemical fertilisers, and then more fuels to
harvest it and truck it and refrigerate it around the globe to reach your
plate, learn how to grow an abundance of fresh and fragrant food right
out your door, just steps from your kitchen.

HEAL OUR EARTH
By growing our own food and reducing energy and water usage, we use
less of the Earth’s precious resources, and by building healthy soils we
actively heal our Earth, in our own backyards.

SAVE MONEY ON ENERGY AND FOOD BILLS
Permaculture design offers principles to reduce the need for energy to
heat, cool and light our homes. By growing at least some of our food we
can drastically reduce food bills; for a packet of seed and some simple
labour we can enjoy a summer’s supply of truly flavoursome tomatoes.

DROUGHT-PROOF YOUR GARDEN
Learn how to design your garden to increase resilience to weather
extremes, including drought, and to simultaneously boost your
productivity. Learn about subtle water-harvesting earthworks; how to
place your garden’s various elements to beneficially interact; and a
number of practical techniques to improve soil.
