*Introduction to Permaculture Design

Permaculture is the ancient art of studying Natures principles and applying her gardening techniques through systems design to human habitats. Together we will learn the basics of permaculture, and how to apply these concepts in an urban context. Students will create their own design maps for where they live and learn about the inspiring permaculture models growing around the world!

Offered as part of the Village Vancouver Transition School as part of Langara College's Sustainable Communities Summer School.
