Introduction to Permaculture - Sydney - Jun 08 |
|
28-29 June 2008 - Sydney - FULLY BOOKED -
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....
Please note that this course is currently full. Not to worry, though! There's another course upcoming in November that you are welcome to come to! May we suggest that, in the meantime, you do a bit of background reading? We've compiled a list of top-notch texts on Permaculture here on our reading list.
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.

Newtown Railway Station. Continue down (ie south) along King St for
about 7 minutes and Camden St is on your right.

Parking in the Newtown area is a bit of a nightmare, and the venue for

"Permaculture is a design system that reconciles human communities with the ecological imperatives of a living planet. Permaculture design may be used to restore ecosystems, create sustainable farms & healthy towns, & promotes economic systems that support Earth care."Ben Haggard
