Have you ever heard of :
Koch’s Curve?  Serpensky’s Triangle?   Mandelbrot’s Set?

During the course of this workshop, students will explore the fascinating
world
of fractals. Through a set of practical exercises, students will apply the
fundamentals of geometry toward designing the boundaries, edges and interfaces
of their garden, house and property toward a greater efficiency, esthetic and
abundance.


Pierre Constans, the instructor, is a former student of Bill Mollison, the
father of Permaculture. Pierre specializes in setting up living systems that
are both aesthetic and functional: mandala gardens, hedges, herb gardens,
backyard orchards, ponds, organic vineyards and chicken tractors. He operates
the Worm Farm, recycles local restaurant refuse into compost and produces
BioVam. Biovam is a revolutionary organic soil and plant booster that changes
the physical composition of the soil as well as the physiology of plants.

Participants will discover the relationship between plants and mathematics and
the harmony of nature. Thank you to all of the students who attended the last
workshop and contributed to making that day a success
