Permaculture Urban Landscape Design Course

I’d love to take this course myself, but alas, I’m unable to make it. Those of you who’re itching to get started, or to do better, with your urban patch (or with someone else’s urban patch!), should seriously consider jumping on this course.

During this intensive 5-day Permaculture Urban Landscape Design course, students will learn the fundamentals of running a professional permaculture design and consultancy business. This is a hands-on learning experience, from the ground up. You will be able to manage contractor bidding and installation of the design on behalf of the client, able to produce concepts and plans for urban, rural and aid projects, learn about proper selection of plants, softscaping, hardscaping, costing and estimation, and have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of design, implementation and execution in several real life environments.

The course will be run at the PRI’s Zaytuna Farm, under the expert hands of Nick Huggins. See Nick’s author profile here, and his WPN profile here.

  1. What an amazing opportunity – Nick is to be congratulated for making his knowledge available. I wish this course had been available twenty years ago. It may have saved me a lot of heart ache and money.

  2. Quick question for everyone, stimulated by the photo above.
    Why always straw for mulching?

    For me (semi-urban) and probably urbanites in general, getting hold of straw isn’t always easy (or cheap). I always envy the beautiful mulch effect it achieves, but personally end up with all sorts of untidy looking mulch, from local bracken & gorse to chopped up sweetcorn leaves!
