Permaculture in Practice 9 April to 14 April 2026
This advanced, hands-on permaculture course is designed to deepen practical skills and real-world understanding. Building on core permaculture knowledge, the course focuses on techniques, from earthworks and water management to food forests, soil regeneration, and integrated design.
Participants spend significant time learning directly on site, applying theory through practical activities and collaborative design work. The emphasis is on developing confidence, competence, and the ability to make sound design decisions in complex, living systems.
The final two days of the course are advanced design skills based on a real site.
