Spring 2011; Practical Permaculture - a weekend for beginners
Dial house

Held at the idylic setting of Dial House in west Essex, this residential weekend workshop can either be considered as a 'stand alone' introduction to Permaculture ethics, principles and design, or else can be a lead-in to the more in depth full 72 hour Permaculture Design Course. This course has been put together in response to requests and feedback for a weekend workshop that has a greater emphasis on practical skills and projects, and will have a focus on 'kinesthetic' learning and practice.
Led by: Graham Burnett and Ron Bates
