Four Season Permaculture Certification Design Course - starts March 29th

 

Permaculture is a complete design system, based on principles of ecology and sustainability that can be used to create resilient, economically stable, and productive landscapes, home and communities. Permaculture designers make their imprint on Earth, culture and economy a positive one.

The two courses below, offered by the Living Centre are great - I (Rob) have taken both. Unlike most Permaculture Design Certificates, which are 72 hour intensive courses all in one shot, the Four Seasons course is on several long weekends over the course of a year. This format is really great for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it makes it much easier to take if you have a young family and work full time. You also get to see the property at the Living Centre through a whole year, which is really great. 

If you've been wanting to train in permaculture for awhile, just go for it. That's what I did in 2012, and it was a really terrific decision.

LondonSOUP - coming up this Sunday, March 2nd

Yes, it's almost March - what happened to February?



LondonSOUP is coming up this Sunday, March 2nd, 2014 at 5:30pm. This time it's at the Covent Garden Market in downtown London, on the Mezzanine Floor.

If you don't know about LondonSOUP, it's a local sustainable business micro-funder. You go, have some great food, listen to some pitches for funding for sustainable businesses, vote with your spoon (I'll it to your imagination what that means - but (hint) it doesn't mean throwing your spoons at the people you don't want to win.), then one happy project walks away with a cheque for $1000.

It's an awesome fun night that Julie and I never miss. Hopefully see you there.
