[Scpg] January Permaculture Design Training in Florida

[YankeePerm at aol.com]

Please Post and/or Announce

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, 
http://barkingfrogspc.tripod.com/frames.html 

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 at hotmail.com To arrange advanced work or practicum 
credit, contact Dan Hemenway at BarkingFrogsPC at 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
