Designing Bountiful Gardens through Permaculture focuses on the design of family gardens in its context as part of a house or farm in a community.

This course is focused on learning to design urban and rural food gardens as part of a household, farm, and community.  Permaculture designs aim to place the whole complex of vegetables, fruits, domestic animals in a particular context with maximum production while cutting labor and costs. We talk about soil, pests, climate-weather, and water. We survey experience from around the world and practice designing gardens so you can realize your own wishes easier.  The Field Trips will visit a working permaculture farm to study gardening techniques and to group design a garden.  Lunch is provided on Field Trip 1.  A potluck lunch will be held on Field Trip 2.  All meals are vegetarian.
