Take your permaculture knowledge to the next level with Permaculture in Practice, an 8 week intermediate permaculture learning course. Designed for those with a foundational understanding of permaculture, this program dives deeper into key concepts without the intensity or costs of a full permaculture design course.
Over 8 weeks, you'll explore essential topics, including Permaculture Ethics and Principles, Earth and Climate Systems, Ecology, Soil, Animals and Cropping, Passive Building Design, Tools and Technology, Social Permaculture, and practical Permaculture Designs. Perfect for anyone ready to refine their design skills and apply permaculture principles in real-world contexts. Classes are held every Friday, offering a balance of theory and hands-on learning. This course will be held at both Edendale Community Enivronment Farm and Eltham Living & Learning.
