Permaculture Design Course 20 July for 10 weeks
BeaconsfieldPart- time Permaculture Design Course (PDC) starting Wed 20 July 2022. - every Wednesday until 21 September 2022 9am to 5pm
Permaculture incorporates plants, animals, landscape, buildings, soil, local climate, and building community, and creates a design for these to work together creating a system that is self-sustaining or with minimal input.
There are many subjects covered in this course (too many to list). You will learn how to read your landscape, build soil, and put the right plant in the correct spot. We teach you how to use water effectively and conserve your resources by cycling them in a closed-loop system.
We will teach you about the many aspects of permaculture during this course and walk you through the design process. You will walk away from this 10-day course with a better understanding of your property and how to put it to the best productive use.
You can read the reviews from our past students on our Facebook page.
This course will be every Wednesday for 10 weeks, located in Beaconsfield.Enquiries can be made via Co Educator Marina Grayden 0417919869

Environment Matters - Waste Not, Want Not
North Fremantle Community Hall2 Thompson RdNorth Fremantle,This Plastic Free July, join CCWA for our next Environment Matters forum!
We’ll be exploring what a sustainable waste management system looks like for WA and learning more about inspiring community-led waste initiatives contributing to climate action.
We’ll be starting the event with a tour of North Fremantle Social Farm led by resident farmer Amy Warne - a local example of a community initiative using organic and regenerative farming principles to grow food.
We’ll then be hearing from four leading waste experts about the creative and interesting examples of community-led initiatives that have begun to fill the gaps in local government policies and contribute to climate action at the same time.
This is a free event and light refreshments will be provided.
This is a COVID-Safe event following the latest health advice.
We respectfully acknowledge that we will be meeting on unceded Whadjuk Noongar country, and pay our deepest respects to traditional custodians and their Elders past and present.
