Students of New College in Sarasota, Florida, will host a permaculture design

intensive workshop January 16-30, 2002. Veteran permaculture designer and

teacher Dan Hemenway will be the principal instructor. 

Students in the intensive program will produce and advanced draft of a

permaculture design for a residential site in the area.  Class work,

including field work and extensive slides, will focus exclusively on

information and design approaches needed to promote this design process.

Except that it slightly less intensive, the program is identical to our

10-day program described on our web site,

Dan Hemenway developed this program in the 1980s to meet the need for

training for people who do not need a permaculture certificate, but would

like enough training to produce permaculture designs for their own places. 

The program has also proven useful as preparation for attending the

Permaculture Design Course and as advanced training for people who have

already earned a certificate in the full design course.  Contact Dan well

before the course to arrange advanced work at no additional charge.  Students

of Elfin Permaculture’s six-month Annual Permaculture Design Course Online

can satisfy their practicum requirement through the workshop, also with

notice. 

Enrollment is limited and a block of seats has been reserved for New College

students.  The first three days of the workshop, when the first design draft

is produced, may be taken separately by people unable to take the full

program, if we have space available. 

Like all Elfin Permaculture Programs, this workshop offers childcare and

limited scholarships.  For details about attending the workshop, contact

Jessica at jnoonmosquera@hotmail.com To arrange advanced work or practicum

credit, contact Dan Hemenway at BarkingFrogsPC@aol.com

Sarasota rests on the Gulf of Mexico south of Tampa. It is a beautiful place,

as cities go, and has active education and arts communities. We are delighted

to be able to provide permaculture training in this area.  

Our next annual Permaculture Design Course Online begins Sept. 15, 2002. 

Late registrations are also accepted for the current course.  See
