About
Learn the basic principles of Permaculture during a practical hands-on weekend course. This short course will teach you various design techniques that you can apply to any environment, and help lead you toward a more sustainable, enjoyable, responsible and healthy lifestyle. Topics covered include composting, garden design and organic food production.
The Hawkesbury EarthCare Centre is a substantial building of rammed earth, mudbricks and strawbale. The Centre is a broad-based sustainable living organisation promoting environmentally responsible land use, appropriate technologies for industry and human settlement and the development of healthy and self-reliant communities that will flourish long past the peak oil and financial crisis. The course presenters give their time freely to share this knowledge with you, and all course fees cover refreshments over the weekend, and a donation to the Earthcare Centre.
