Permaculture Design is a method of landscape planning that can be applied to anything, from a home garden or farm to a city block or entire village. It is an ethically based whole-systems design approach that uses concepts, principles, and methods derived from ecosystems, indigenous peoples, and other time-tested systems to create human settlements and institutions. The class will be led by David Shaw, a Permaculture and whole systems designer, facilitator, and educator, as well as founder of Santa Cruz Permaculture Farm and the UCSC Right Livelihood Center.
