This two-and-a-half-day course is an exciting way to learn about permaculture design. The certificated course will provide an opportunity to actively learn about permaculture and how we can use it to benefit our lives more sustainably and positively. 

​

This is no ordinary ‘Introduction course’. It has been designed to support the gardener or landowner, helping us apply the tools and techniques we can use in our unique circumstances. 

We work with nature to get the most out of our environment.

We will give you a practical focus on the ethics, principles and applications of permaculture that you can take home and apply to your land, garden, workspace and lifestyle, connecting us harmoniously to the world around us.

​

At River Ebro Permaculture, we have implemented permaculture on the farm for the last ten years. You can see examples of executed designs and principles in practice and development, from greywater systems and compost toilets to no dig-beds and companion planting. We are making this site a diverse and regenerative system, providing for humans and the natural environment.
