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.
"Permaculture Design is the first system of conscious, functional, design in the world. That's its unique aspect - its functional design is sustainable."
