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.
