Introduction to Permaculture:
Making the Most of Your Backyard Garden
with David Mudge

David Mudge

In this two hour introductory class we will explore:

  • What is Permaculture?
  • Why gardening as we know it is such hard work!
  • Comforting wisdom from the forest for those who have a brown thumb.
  • Gardening in limited space and time.
  • Ways to create holistic landscape designs that are modeled after Nature, serving multiple functions in cooperation with human needs.
  • Why exclusively planting “All Natives” may not always be our first choice.
  • Gardens for food, sanctuary, beauty and nourishment of the Soul.
  • Gardens that reconnect us with the Earth and consequently the Divine.

Permaculture has often been described as a 10,000 year old cutting edge technology. It embraces a set of techniques and principles for designing sustainable human settlements. 

Come join David for a journey into the future of your garden.
