Course Description:
Permaculture addresses humans' interactions with Earth, including farming & gardening, animals landscape, weather, water, fire, air, energy & alternative fuel, buildings, business, legal structures, currency, social harmony and spirituality.
In this class, we will touch on many of these topics, showing how they are connected and that by consciously designing systems with careful attention to their relationships, we can begin to heal our world/ourselves. The theory and practice of permaculture works on all scales, from the family home to the community and the world.
You will learn to:
• support yourself financially on small acreage.
• create efficiency through utilizing techniques presented.
• turn problems into solutions.
• discover how the "problems" on your landscape are undiscovered resources.
• see the world differently.
