Permaculture Planning with Sarah Daum
Overview
Intro
Plan your garden with permaculture. Learn ethics, principles and tools, and apply them in a hands-on design exercise on your own project or an exampl
Plan your garden project according to the principles of permaculture!
Permaculture design is a systemic and holistic planning process for creating diverse, nourishing, and fertile landscapes in both urban and rural environments. The approach also includes participatory design of community projects and enterprises. At its core are ethical thinking and action, as well as fostering positive and beneficial relationships between people, animals, plants, and the elements. In this way, the needs of all living beings can be met creatively, supporting a sustainable way of life with diverse and resilient ecosystems. All living beings are part of the ecosystems being designed and contribute to their stability.
In this course, we will explore and apply the fundamentals of permaculture design. Planning tools will be introduced and practiced in group exercises. We will carry out a design exercise based on your own project or a sample case, allowing you to learn key permaculture design tools through hands-on experience. By the end of the course, you will have an overview of the most important planning tools, have taken initial steps on a project, and know how to continue working on it afterward. Additional resources for further learning and networking will also be provided.
No prior knowledge is required.
