Welcome
I discovered permaculture by accident after reading a permaculture magazine. Many of its ideas and concepts shared the vision of how I thought life could be.
I had been practising many permaculture methods without knowing which lead me to a Permaculture Design Course in April 2011, the diploma started in August 2011 this site will document my journey through the diploma course over the next 2 years.

Renovating my home and garden over the last 8 years using permaculture techniques has been a valuable experience, after completing my permaculture design course many new ideas formulated, and will be integrated in to my diploma course.
What is permaculture ?
Permaculture is a design system for all human endeavors using a set of 3 ethics and 12 design principles they were designed by Bill Molinson & David Holmgren in the mid 1970's. They outline the need for design based thinking for a sustainable future using strategies developed for local situations. Permaculture has become a way of life for me.
