Learn the basics of Permaculture Design on this two-day Introduction to Permaculture and be ready to try it out in your garden, your workplace and your life.

6 weekends between April 25th and October 18th 2026 at Global Generation’s Paper Garden in Canada Water, London.

The Permaculture Design Course is a 72-hour often life-changing experience, accredited by the UK Permaculture Association. Over the period of 6 weekends we will explore practical and creative solutions for building resilient communities and designing abundant eco-systems.

For the ‘Gift & Gratitude’ retreat we explore the generosity of the natural world and our ability to receive the gifts we are offered. We will use this time for harvest and integration of what was given to us and what is already available, whether those are physical gifts of the land or lessons we have learnt, friends we have made or projects we have embarked on over the course of the last year. We will engage in practices that allow us to stop and appreciate the little and big things that give us life, support, resource and capacity to be more fully here.

The Permaculture Design Course (PDC) is a 72-hour internationally recognised training engaging head, heart and hands of participants to discover the principles and techniques of permaculture. We will explore the patterns of our predominant consumerist culture and compare them to the sustainable and regenerative patterns of the natural world. We will not only apply those patterns and principles to the example of ecosystems and the land but also communities and and our own embodied selves.
