Permaculture
Permaculture is a way of designing our surroundings by learning from nature about efficient and sustainable ways of using energy, materials and other resources so as to minimise the stress that nature and humanity place upon each other. There are many examples of permaculture design on our site, but perhaps the most important one is Vallis Veg itself, in its aim to produce wholesome food as close as possible to where it will be eaten.
We're pleased to be involved with a Permaculture Design Course starting in Frome in January 2011, with practical sessions based at our Vallis Veg site. Further details are available from Gladys's Spiral Garden website.
You can find out more about permaculture, including permaculture training opportunities, from the Permaculture Association or by reading Permaculture Magazine. You might be interested in Chris’s articles about our site in Permaculture Magazine Nos. 50 & 51.
