sustainable living, including an understanding of place and how to work
with natural forces in the landscape to meet our needs with as little
outside energy as possible.


This course will cover the fundamentals
of Permaculture, including ethics, principles, pattern understanding,
zone and sector analysis, reading the landscape, observation, assessment
and design skills.
