Permablitz

A Permablitz is a workshop-style day which allows students to get some hands-on experience, try out some of the concepts discussed in class, learn by doing, get ideas for their own homes, meet like-minded people, reduce food miles & water use and beautify underused spaces.

Where a blitz is a focused application of energy or a concentrated effort to get something done, a Permablitz is a front or back yard makeover where volunteers from the community get together and have fun learning about, designing and implementing permaculture-inspired systems.

We organize Permablitz days in conjunction with our Permaculture Courses. These workshop-style days allow students to get some hands-on experience, try out some of the concepts discussed in class, learn by doing, get ideas for their own homes, meet like-minded people, reduce food miles & water use and beautify underused spaces.

 Permablitz projects may be wide and varied:

• build a food garden or edible forest garden
