introduction to permaculture
This home study course provides a comprehensive introduction to permaculture, allowing students to apply the principles in every aspect of their own lives.
Permaculture might best be defined as a way of life and its methods can be applied in the house and garden, as well as in the wider community and on the farm. Permaculture is about providing practical solutions that allow us to create a more enduring and harmonious way of living.
