Permaculture Series

What is Permaculture? A design methodology focusing on resource conservation, energy efficiency and harnessing the power of natural processes.

Urban Roots is pleased to offer a series of workshops on Permaculture with Billie Williams, B. App. Sc., PDC, BOE. This series of workshops will cost $5 per session, payable at the time of the workshop. Individuals are free to attend each individually or the whole series.

Learn about permaculture design principles and how they are used to create sustainable systems that make efficient use of available resources, reduce waste and pollution, and encourage healthy, productive and diverse environments from the home garden to the wider community. Please bring a pen and paper for notes!
