Complete 2012 Course and Workshop List
Friends, composters, fellow human beings, lend me your ears of corn,
Here's the master list of our courses for 2012.
If a course does not have a link attached, it means we're still working out details like venue, curriculum, what colour of table cloth to ensure the maximum amount of information retention... it's a serious science this permaculture stuff. Please bear with us as we put the final touches on the course.
If you want to ensure you find out when registration opens for a course [some students have been stalking the webpage and pounce the first day the course is up, we know who you are :) ] check back and/or sign up for the newsletter on the homepage.
Most courses have a early bird price deadline and a final registration date. Make sure to note both of these. The former to ensure you get in on the early bird price and the latter to ensure you get into the course (and we run the course due to minimum numbers).
All the best in 2012. Be fruitful and mulch apply,
Javan

Permaculture is a science based ethical design system. Used to answer the all encompassing question "How do we live sustainability?" Founded in three ethics - Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share practitioners of permaculture use nature inspired design with tools and methods based in science, engineering, agriculture, finances, community building to create sustainable regenerative human habitat. This design system uses organic agriculture, urban farming, regenerative design, and many other ways of knowing to teach and provide a practical framework for individuals to take responsibility for themselves, their children and their community.
