Introduction to Permaculture

  • Beelarong Community Farm 56 York Street Morningside, QLD, 4170 Australia (map)

Permaculture is an innovative framework for creating sustainable ways of living. It is a practical method of developing ecologically harmonious, efficient and productive systems that can be used by anyone, anywhere and at any scale.

By learning permaculture we can be more productive for less effort, reaping benefits for our environment and ourselves, for now and for generations to come. This workshop will focus more specifically on the small scale home garden for city living. We will learn how to maximise the productivity of small spaces through clever design and by working with nature rather than against.
