What is Permaculture? Sustainable Ethics and Principles (Urban Homestead Series)

November 18, 6:30 PM-7:30 PM
Denver Botanic Gardens

$24.00 (Member Price) / $29.00 (Non-Member Price)

Have you noticed the surge of interest in beekeeping? Chickens? Home composting? Water conservation? Growing your own food? Zero waste? Permaculture brings all of these elements and more together to create ecological human habitats and food production systems. Born in the 1970s, permaculture draws on ecology, green design and sustainability and incorporates them into a broader framework, integrating humans into nature. Needless to say, it is experiencing a timely renaissance! Come learn the principles of this fascinating movement, and be inspired by new ways to align your own home, garden and community life more closely with natural patterns. Instructor: Ellen Rosenthal.
“Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted & thoughtful observation rather than protracted & thoughtless labour; of looking at plants & animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single-product system.”
~ Australian ecologist Bill Mollison, one of the founders of permaculture.
