Design your home or community garden to be in harmony with nature. This two-hour workshop offers a practical introduction to the principles and ethics of permaculture, an approach to land use and living that works with natural systems rather than against them. Rooted in whole-systems thinking, permaculture draws inspiration from the patterns and resilience found in healthy ecosystems to create sustainable landscapes, productive gardens, and thoughtful community design. Participants will explore core permaculture concepts such as observation of natural patterns, efficient use of resources, and designing spaces that support both people and the environment. You’ll learn how these principles and concepts can be applied at home to garden and live more sustainably.
