.Whether it's a balcony, suburban yard or acreage - permaculture offers techniques for individuals, families and organizations to practice sustainable food production. Permaculture focuses on mimicking nature's systems and patterns to develop resilient and self-sufficient agriculture ecosystems at any scale. Jonas Roberts will share examples from his own permaculture project and help you imagine how permaculture can work for you. During the workshop you will also learn about the guiding ethics and principles of permaculture and how to apply them in a Newfoundland and Labrador specific context. Topics will include food forests, hugelkultur (self-watering/fertilizing raised beds), herb spirals, and getting started on your own permaculture design!
