Permaculture is an ethical design system, based on ecological principles, that creates sustainable and regenerative human habitats by following nature’s patterns.
This workshop will introduce permaculture by outlining the key ethics and principles and how they can be applied to a design process. We will look in particular at permaculture’s relevance to living in an urban context and how attendees can apply permaculture in their own lives.
