The Northern School of Permaculture provides training and professional development services to build skills in productive, functional design. We take a holistic and ecological approach to design, based on the work of Bill Mollison and his Australian colleagues.
Please note that information about our courses and events is now available in a more up-to-date format at our booking website.
Otherwise, this site remains functional for the use of our students and graduates.
"Permaculture Design is the first system of conscious, functional, design in the world. That's its unique aspect - its functional design is sustainable."
Our guild has links to other guilds and organisations who acknowledge the power of "open source" working:
Permaculture Research Institute - the PRI is pre-eminent coherent authority on world-wide Permaculture The PRI has accredited our Permaculture Design Certificate course (PDC) and we are seeking closer working relations with them
Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) Africa - we are working with them to develop holistic training and cultural exchange across continents and climate zones
