This course provides an introduction to sustainable permaculture gardening planning. It covers the basics of permaculture, including the principles, design, and implementation of permaculture systems. We will explore the different elements of permaculture, such as soil building, water management, and plant selection
Permaculture is an approach to land management and settlement design that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems. It includes a set of design principles derived using whole-systems thinking. It applies these principles in fields such as regenerative agriculture, town planning, rewilding, and community resilience. The term was coined in 1978 by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, who formulated the concept in opposition to modern industrialized methods, instead adopting a more traditional or "natural" approach to agriculture.
