Join us for a informative and engaging workshop designed specifically for gardeners interested in incorporating the core ethics and the principles of permaculture into their gardening practices. Permaculture can offer a holistic approach to sustainable gardening that not only benefits the environment but also maximizes productivity and creates resilient, thriving ecosystems. This class will cover the three core ethics of permaculture and each of the 12 principle as developed by David Holmgren, exploring practical techniques and strategies to implement them effectively.

By the end of this interactive session, you will have gained a foundational understanding of the three core ethics and 12 principles of permaculture, enabling you to apply these concepts to your own gardening projects.

Handouts will be included on how to apply these principles to your gardening practices, leading to more sustainable and regenerative outcomes that works in harmony with nature. .
