Permaculture Design Course, Violet Town
May 5th to 20th 2007With Graeme George, David Arnold, Beck Lowe and Ian Lillington
This is a two-week residential Permaculture Design Course (PDC). The course, over 93 hours, will cover the whole PDC curriculum with extra time for local issues and reading the regional landscapes. Attention will be given to the community development aspects of sustainable living.
Experienced tutors will team teach to deliver a learning experience that is interactive and engaging.
Included in the course are field trips to a diverse range of permaculture, agriculture, forestry and community living projects in the district. These include cooler, wetter locations in the hills, and hotter, drier sites further inland.
The Murrnong property, on the edge of Violet Town, will be used as a local example of applied permaculture design. This eight hectare property and proposed community subdivision has been developed over ten years by David Arnold.
