Introduction to Permaculture Design Weekend.
March 2026

Adventure into the ethics and principles of permaculture in a hands-on weekend course, open to anyone interested in ecological, community and social design. Over two days, you will explore the fundamentals of permaculture design while actively participating in organic food growing, community projects and studying local ecologies.

      

The course blends practical skills with collaborative learning and design thinking, giving you the confidence to start applying permaculture design in your own life, business or community.

 

The venue, Community Roots CIC  is nestled near the wild North Cliffs near the village of Porthtowan.  This vibrant local food hub offers hands-on learning experience inspiring natural surrounds.  Training sessions will take place in the community garden, on the ecopark site, as well as on the coast and at local beaches.  After class and on the weekends surfing is possible too, and yoga, sauna, music and dancing is often on offer at the adjacent Mount Pleasant Ecopark.  Optional discounted camping at £8 per night is also available at the Ecopark.
