Introduction to Permaculture with Mark Shepard
Permaculture (permanent agriculture/ permanent culture) is a design methodology that strives to create ecologically sound, energy efficient, economically profitable, self-reliant and beautiful living environments. Class participants will learn the basics of Permaculture, including Permaculture ethics, stacking, succession, integrated design, polycultures, guilds, earthworks, waterworks, renewable energy and animals. The class will consist of two parts. The morning will be spent in a classroom setting introducing the topic using images from actual Permaculture sites. The afternoon will be spent “in the field” performing a Permaculture site analysis and creating the beginnings of a Permaculture site design for the host landowners.
