ABOUT

We're hosting another 2 day Grow Your Own Food workshop!

Come share in this collaborative course as we teach each other:

Permaculture ethics and design principles
The permaculture design process - allowing a site to design itself
Life of the soil and increasing soil fertility
Water management
Plant selection, companion planting and organic practice
Integrated pest management
Forest gardening
Intuitive gardening
Urban animal husbandry, and
Tapping into free resources to achieve the above

This is a participatory and practical workshop where you'll leave equipped with the fundamentals for bringing permaculture into your life. We will be implementing a food forest on day 2 of the event.

Cost per person is R350.
