Introduction to Permaculture - Sydney - Feb 08
9 - 10 February 2008 - Sydney NSW
 A two-day, weekend course held in central Sydney. This course introduces Permaculture design, as it applies to the Australian home, garden and workplace in all its shapes and sizes....
 
Over this weekend you will learn how to apply sustainable design techniques to your immediate environment, whether you live in an inner city apartment, a quarter-acre block, or a thousand acre farm.
 
Covering organic food production, system design (and re-design) for comfort and lower energy consumption, and how to approach a sustainable existence within your neighbourhood, wherever you may be.  
 
Come and learn practical strategies to better care and provide for yourself, your family and the planet. A jam-packed weekend of information, techniques, a site visit to Angel St Permaculture Garden and great piles of organic food, all within a comfortable walk from an inner-city train station.

This course will be taught by Nick Ritar, an award-winning educator of community technologies and strategies for communication, and co-founder of Milkwood Permaculture, providing practical, ecological, do-able solutions for sustainable living and development.

 


Course dates: Saturday 9th + Sunday 10th February, 2008
Course times: 9am - 5pm each day
Course fee: $150 + GST
Course location: 94-96 Camden St, Newtown 2042 map

Getting there: free public transport trip planner website 

Getting there by bus: Camden St runs off King St, the main street of Newtown. Catch a 422, 423, 426 or 428 bus from Railway Square at Central, and get off at Newtown Railway Station. Continue down (ie south) along King St for about 7 minutes and Camden St is on your right.

Getting there by train:  Catch the train to Newtown (on the inner west and south lines) from central Station. Once out of the station, turn left and continue down (ie south) along King St for about 7 minutes and Camden St is on your right.

Getting there by car: Parking in the Newtown area is a bit of a nightmare, and the venue for this course has no designated parking. May we suggest that you take public transport to this event.

Course fee includes all educational materials, two generous organic lunches, and all the tea, coffee and snacks you will need while thinking, learning and absorbing this great two day course.
