Are you eager to transform your property into a sustainable oasis brimming with life and abundance? Our exclusive Weekend Workshop: Designing and Drawing Your Dream Permaculture Garden led by practitioner Kirsty Williams, invites you on a journey to unlock the hidden potential of your land.

Let’s delve into the myriad benefits and reasons why this transformative retreat could be your gateway to cultivating a thriving, eco-conscious garden paradise.

Wait a sec…WTF is permaculture?

If permaculture is a new term for you, don’t stress — this retreat is a welcoming, inclusive and nonjudgmental place to learn. Kirsty will start with the basics, explaining how permaculture is the concept of connecting to land, resources, people and the environment in a manner that doesn't produce any waste. You’ll hear about the use of closed loop systems seen in nature, as well as the ethics that form the foundations for permaculture design living: earth care, people care and fair share.

Research published in leading journals like the Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems showcases the effectiveness of permaculture principles in fostering sustainable land use, biodiversity, and resilience against environmental changes.

Watch and learn: The power of observation

Drawing from her wealth of experience, Kirsty will ground participants in the fundamentals of site evaluation and observation, explaining how these design techniques will help you harness your property's unique features for optimal sustainability and productivity.

Gain practical knowledge to grow a more productive garden

Whether you’re a green thumb or new to gardening, this retreat will also teach you how to get the maximum amount of produce from your productive patch, no matter how big or small it is, with the least amount of time and effort. Kirsty will cover perennial and annual food crops, succession planting and crop rotation plus all the practical how-tos on seed saving.

Cultivating your creative vision: Craft your personalised dream garden design

One of the retreat's key highlights lies in commencing the hands-on creation of your personalised garden design. With Kirsty's expert guidance, even those without prior art or drawing experience will gain the skills to translate their vision onto paper. From understanding scale and mapping elements to representing design elements in image form, you'll craft a detailed and beautiful blueprint tailored specifically to your property's unique features — and your aspirations.
