Working with Nature in the Garden: Permaculture Principles & Design

We’re partnering with Just Food and the Centretown Citizens Community Association to present this workshop on Permaculture Principles and Design.

What can nature teach us about gardening? How can (re)design our gardens to optimize resources, make less work for ourselves and be more ecologically friendly?

In permaculture, we learn to “design like nature”, drawing on simple principles from the natural world. These include:

• work with nature
• start small and slow
• emphasize multiple functions
• create redundancy
• promote beneficial relationships
• use renewable resources
• cycle resources
• maximize diversity and edges
• work with evolution
• be creative.

Learn about permaculture principles and various ways to apply them in our gardens, as well as permaculture design examples in the garden and in an edible forest garden.

Facilitated by Bonita Ford of the Permaculture Institute of Eastern Ontario
