Continuing our short series showcasing the fantastic team of teachers who will be leading London’s Design 4 ACTION Permaculture Design Course at Furtherfield in Finsbury Park in October, this time featuring the work of James Taylor.

James is also working towards his Diploma in applied Permaculture Design and is on the Board of Trustees of the Permaculture Association (Britain). He has been involved with permaculture since 2005 when he undertook his PDC with Naturewise and has taught with the Apricot Centre, Naturewise, Spiralseed, Edible Landscapes and others. Alongside degrees in literature and film he has an MSc in Human Ecology. James publishes the bioregional magazine Managed Retreat and is the author of Shadows of Progress and the forthcoming Forest Gardener: The Life and Work of Robert A De J Hart. Follow him on Twitter @LondonPrmcultr.

Managed Retreat is an occasional journal of the English orient – it’s bioregional and geopoetic, it promotes an ecological Englishness and comes with an eastern flavour. It’s about nature and culture. Below are some of the contents.

Bookings are now being taken for our Autumn 2016/Spring 2017 Design 4 ACTION London Permaculture Design Course.
