Introductory courses and weekend events An excellent way to find out more about permaculture is to attend a two-day introductory course. This 'taster' will provide an opportunity to actively learn about the principles and see examples of designs being implemented by groups and projects in this country and abroad. The course provides the opportunity to discuss vitally important issues in a positive, creative and supportive space. The course is lively, participatory and thought provoking. Full design courses and longer eventsThe full 72 hour Permaculture Design Course is a vital stage in the development of understanding of permaculture ethics, principles, design processes and implementation techniques.

The weekend is led by experienced permaculture teachers Graham Burnett (author and illustrator of 'Permaculture- a Beginners Guide', Trustee of the Permaculture Association (Britain) and holder of the Diploma in Permaculture Design), and Ron Bates, who has a extensive background in experiential learning and teaching, in particular working with young people with special needs. This course has been put together in response to requests and feedback for a weekend workshop that has a greater emphasis on practical skills and projects, and will have a greater focus on 'kinesthetic' learning and practice. We will therefore work on a 'hands-on' group project that will embed the principles and ethics of permaculture design.
