Six week programme:

Overview:

This 2 day course combines an introduction to Permaculture with forest gardening. So we use the forest garden to show how Permaculture can be applied in practice. The course includes lunch (as much as possible from the garden produce) and theory and practical exercises.

This intensive course is demanding enjoyable and empowering. It gives attendees a wide range of teaching tools and practice with a knowledgable peer group to build confidence in sharing the valuable asset of permaculture as a design methodology on the world stage. It attracts international participants. The course culture and catering are managed and run by the participants. The structure and content are set by the instructors, Rakesh and Graham. The venue is known and will be shared with attendees (it is a private family residence with strong ethical commitments).

Learn how to build your own natural cob house and create an organic vegetable garden using permaculture principles.

This unique 12 week course consists of an accredited permaculture design course complimented by additional classroom time on topics such as syntropic gardening and holistic management. This will be combined with a simultaneous practical course in eco-building which will teach you the skills to build a small cob house from the ground up using organic, materials.

This is the full permaculture design course as accredited by the permaculture association. Graham Bell, the U.K.'s longest serving teacher is coming to lead on this one with a few other facilitaters coming to share their expertise too. The course will cover the ethics, principles and the design tools and methods. There will also be a variety of specific sessions ranging from forest garden implementation and maintenance to food preservation and from non-violent communication to thermal rocket stoves. And lots about how to care for and improve our soils.

A great introduction to this inspiring edible gardening technique where we are part of the Wildlife!
Whether you are interested in green issues, wildlife or responding to climate change, there will be something for you. Come and learn about this inspiring ecological gardening technique to grow our food, meet many human needs and increase wildlife. Based on principles found in nature, forest gardens will need less and less work over the years whilst providing more and more yields.

A two day course for school & nursery teachers, forest school leaders, nature kindergarten teachers, parents and other educators to engage children in all aspects of permaculture. Composed of both indoor and outdoor sessions we will learn how to spend times with children which are child-centred and/or child-led.

This course is a pre-requisite for attending the CiP practitioners course which follows (23rd to 28th April, see here: http://childreninpermaculture.com/events/).

The course will assist participants to visualize, plan, establish and continue to maintain, harvest and learn from a forest garden, be it at home or on someone else's land such as a community garden, school garden, etc.

You will be able to go home and start your journey into forest gardening, or be better informed to manage a forest garden that you have already started. And you’ll know how to continue your journey through research into existing literature and being part of an ever-growing network of forest gardeners in the UK

This is a 2-day introduction to the concept and techniques of forest gardening, involving theory and practice from visioning to harvesting.

The course will cover:
• Benefits of forest gardening
• Site selection and design
• Integration of permaculture principles and design process
• Species' selection
• Plant propagation
• Site preparation, establishment and maintenance; harvesting
• Integration with other farm and garden systems

Delivered by NonStuff Industries CIC, this full PDC develops an understanding of permaculture ethics, principles, design processes and implementation techniques. It’s your first step on what we hope will become a lifelong permaculture journey.

Our classes are interactive, relaxed and fun, with a good mix of information sessions, hands-on practical work, observation opportunities, creative project work and participatory ideas exchange. We welcome people of all levels of experience and backgrounds: come prepared to both learn and share.

This is the 10th Permaculture Design Course in Glasgow with Lusi Alderslowe! Permaculture is a holistic design system for sustainable living, creating systems for minimum effort and maximum effect. This course is one weekend per month. The first module can also be taken as a stand alone introduction, which allows you to come along and meet everyone before you commit to the rest of the course.

This in total 16 day long course consists of a broad range of topics applicable to life anywhere on the planet, at the same time catering to specific needs of the participating students.The Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) Course allows you to be the change you want to see in the world. It provides skills and solid knowledge in permaculture design as a science that can create abundant ecosystems sustainably in the backyard, a small farm or on a larger broad acre landscape.TOPICS WILL INCLUDE :
‣ History and definition of Permaculture

The scythe has been used in parts of the world since Roman Times. It is still being used in many countries today and is having a revival in Britain.

Join us on a day exploring how to use this fantastic tool.

The day will cover: how to set up the scythe, selecting the right blade for the job, altering the angle of the blade, how to sharpen the blade and, most importantly - how to mow with ease and flow!
Later in the day we will cover how to repair blades and have a go at 'Peening' the blade with the Peening jig.

Here at Garden Cottage we can produce over a ton of fod a year - but mostly between July and October (being the same latitude as Alaska). So how can we spread the use of our harvest around twelve months of the year? This two day course focuses on a range of preservation techniques for both seasonal produce and some year round opportunities covering a wide range of topics which will be adjusted to the interests of the participants. Lunch is included (including sampling previously prepared preserves).
