Permaculture is a holistic approach to designing our lives and the space around us. Permaculture design is both theoretical and practical. It uses the patterns we see all around us in Nature, We can make sense of those patterns and use them as our guide to creating natural, productive livelihoods for ourselves.
Permaculture Design involves integrating people into landscape in a way that meets their needs and at the same time allows them to put right any damage that has already been done to the landscape and to the local community. The Northern School runs a series of occasional events to provide opportunities to work with other designers and to improve our skills together, "on the job". The results are often of great use to our clients who host the weekends.
