Permaculture Theory & Practicums with Darren Doherty
June 18, 2014 — Chicago
Here is an opportunity to practice sustainable living in your daily life, and do something to protect the planet.
Permaculture “create(s) systems that are ecologically-sound and economically viable, which provide for their own needs, do not exploit or pollute, and are therefore sustainable in the long term” - Bill Mollison, the founder of Permaculture. Of course, Permaculture is Organic, but it goes beyond Organic since it is a way to design your garden, orchard, or farm so that it is in harmony with nature.
The class is designed in such a manner that both novices and experts will benefit from the practical application of Permaculture Design.
Darren Doherty is internationally recognized as a leader and pioneer in permaculture and regenerative agriculture. A prolific and accomplished designer, Darren has completed more than 1,600 property development plans since 1993 in 47 countries. He has made his knowledge and experience accessible to over 12,000 students with 180 courses and seminars since 2001.
