| Description: | One Day Introduction to Permaculture Workshop It’s not just gardening. It’s a way of life, an holistic approach to sustainable living. Food & Trees for Africa, the organisation that introduced Permaculture to South Africa in 1991, now offers one day Permaculture workshops for gardeners. Learn a more sustainable way to grow good organic food whilst using natural resources wisely to enhance nature rather than control or deplete it.

LEARN ABOUT: Garden design, permaculture principles and ethics Soil – analysis, building fertility, management and improvement with demonstration of compost, mulch, earthworms, liquid nutrients, green manure, nitrogen fixers and crop rotation Water - principles, resourceful water use and management including low tech irrigation Planting seeds and seedlings, interplanting, container gardening and companion planting Garden maintenance, weeding, natural pest control, staking, thinning out and transplanting.
