Learn the fundamentals of Permaculture Design and apply it to your own land. This 4-day ‘design your own project’ course takes place over 2 weekends and is created specifically for people who would like to design their own project using permaculture principles and ethics. It will help you avoid pitfalls and common mistakes in developing a new piece of land, especially when designing here in Bali.

The course will start with conceptualising your ideas and being able to clearly communicate your vision for your space with other stake holders and family. This will give you the design know-how and concepts to turn this vision into tangible elements that can be placed, tested and costed to your project. Each student will have professional and experienced instructors provide advice, guidance and direction.

You will Learn:

The Permaculture Design process

How to source and create useful base maps of your property

How to create a conceptual design for your property

How to cost your project

What elements to include and what to plant to ensure you’re building a resilient, economical and sustainable system.

You will leave the course with a Base Map, a Site Analysis Plan, a Concept Plan, Costing Spreadsheet and a Species List.
