Fairview Farm, Mayne Island bc

Out on the Land, Permaculture Basics for a Small Farm
led by
Jill Whitelaw of Cascadia North Permaculture, and
Erin Innes of Passionate Permaculture

Step into natural time on Mayne Island... we will be observing the land and the area as it is in the Islands Trust, and working in a gentle manner. We will talk about somethings, get our hands dirty with others, take some walks and maybe go on a field trip to see a great pond and garden. Land observation and intuitional surveying; keyline dam discussion and exploration; no dig gardens; using wood and organic matter to create a sponge to hold water, eliminating the need for watering; orchard care and maintenance; primitive systems; aligning structures for maximum heat gain; and the mulch pit tree system. kids welcome.
Course fee: $75 + 50 for food, includes camping. Other accomodation is available on the island. http://www.mayneislandchamber.ca/
This course is appropriate for Permaculture graduates and non graduates also. The techniques in this workshop can be used anywhere in urban backyards or community gardens, and are mostly small designs by their natures.
