Permaculture Introductory Module offered by RECAP in Ashhurst.
Permaculture Introductory Module.
As a ‘taster’ for those who just want a basic introduction to permaculture RECAP is offering an introductory model which will take place over two days. You will be introduced to permaculture ethics and principals over the first day and landscape and site assessment over the second. Permaculture is a creative design process for gardening, farming, landscaping and social aspects of our lives, which takes into account all aspects of a site, and uses design principles and ethics to guide our decisions. This is great opportunity to familiarise yourself with these ideas and concepts. From this there is the option to complete a PiNZ accredited PDC course.
Dates: Permaculture Principals and Ethics, Saturday 16th February 9am-5pm at Ashhurst VVC
Landscape and Site assessment, Saturday 2nd March, 9am-5pm at Ashhurst VVC
Cost: $80 per person
