Content
Permaculture is a holistic design system for sustainable living, creating systems for minimum effort and maximum effect. The introduction is the first module of the full design course and gives the basic grounding in what permaculture is and how it can be applied. It includes an overview of topics that are covered in more detail during the rest of the course. In general we are indoors in the morning and outdoors in the afternoon. Normally the first afternoon is spent doing observations and the second afternoon is a practical activity, such as composting.
