Thinking about joining the Spring into Action! Permaculture Design Course but want to test the water first?

Claire White and Graham Burnett will be teaching a 2-day Introduction to Permaculture at Spitalfields City Farm on the weekend of January 25/26 2014.

This amazing course will cover origins, ethics & principles of permaculture and focus on how working with nature is a viable solution to environmental problems.  Permaculture uses wholesystems thinking to create productive environments that work with ecology & community.

The weekend  will be a lively, participatory and thought provoking experience with Graham Burnett & Claire White forest gardeners & permaculture teachers. The course will take place in the inspiring setting of Spitalfields City Farm.
