Join us for an introduction and interactive experience to learn about permaculture with permaculture designers Drew Wilkinson and Tia Meer.

Permaculture methods can be applied now, whether you are gardening, running a business, or building your own home. The morning session will cover ethics, principals, site survey, and site design.  In the afternoon we will get our hands dirty and put permaculture into practice with a few simple projects.
