Permaculture Gardening is a year round project and asks that you think a certain way. Learn to garden in partnership with Nature to build a long term rewarding system that works for earth and humanity! Now is the perfect time to start!

This practical workshop is designed to help all gardeners create long term resilience in their gardening plan. This course will help you begin to think like a permaculturist, with long term vision planning, care for the earth, care for the people and creating surplus to share in mind.

You will learn how to expand your relationship to your garden creating a natural oasis rich in abundance of life, energy, diversity & produce.
