Introduction to Permaculture Design – the DVD Trailer
Courses/Workshops, DVDs/Books, Developments — by Craig Mackintosh July 17, 2009
We know a considerable amount of people have been in anticipation of this DVD – a highly watchable intro to Permaculture design principles and practise. It is the culmination of a great many hours of careful labour for award-winning video editor, animator and avid Permaculturist, Frank Gapinski. With it, we target two kinds of people: the Permaculture beginner wanting to get a grip on what Permaculture is all about from somebody who really knows his stuff, as well as the keen Permaculturist who wants to share his/her enthusiasm with friends, family and colleagues in an easy to digest form. The DVD encapsulates some of the most significant aspects of Permaculture – leaving the viewer feeling more confident about how to capably wield the design tools Permaculture utilises.
The narrator, Geoff Lawton, one of Bill Mollison’s earliest students, is one of the most respected and experienced Permaculturists today – having worked and taught in dozens of countries over the last twenty five years – and yet fully understands how to engage audiences and transmit information to people at all levels. This, combined with Frank’s expert visual wizardy, will leave viewers wanting to start their own Permaculture journey, pronto.
We had initially pre-announced this DVD several months ago, under the title ‘Permaculture for Beginners’, but after working it through the title ‘Introduction to Permaculture Design’ seemed more apt. We anticipate this will become a highly contagious tool to help spread the Permaculture message. Watch the trailer below, and keep an eye on this site for its not-too-distant release (due September).

I think there is going to be HUGE interest in this DVD when it comes out, making the ideas we’re all so committed to more accessible and ‘transmissible’. I only hope you don’t run out of them! Is there some way we can ‘pre-order’ so that you can get some feel for the demand and produce accordingly?

Great looking addition to your other videos (which I own) – it would be good if people could prebook their copy.

I agree with the others about being able to reserve a copy prior to release.
Really looking forward to this one.

Hi Geoff- how much is this expected to cost?

Due to popular demand, in this comment thread and via lots of telephone calls, I’ve listed the new DVD so that it’s now available to be pre-ordered. You can browse for it in our online store. Note, if you order, we will charge your card now and will send your DVD when we have them (expected September). This will help us pay the expenses associated with having the DVDs produced, pressed and covered, etc. If you do not wish to be charged now, simply wait until September to make your order. Thank you.

Hi,
The DVD looks great. I’m just wondering if there is an update on the release date?

Hi Daryl
The “Introduction to Permaculture DVD” has been dispatched to the printers. It usually takes 10 working days before the DVD is printed and ready to go. I’m expecting it to be ready around the 20th of September.
Once we have received the DVD, please expect 7 – 14 working days for international delivery and 3 – 5 working days for domestic delivery.
We appreciate your patience.
