An Introduction to
Permaculture:
A Design Workshop for
Women on Sustainable Living

February 16-18, 2001
Lost Valley Educational Center          Dexter, Oregon

Permaculture is a method of design that offers guidelines for ways we can
create a more permanent culture by conserving resources in all aspects of
living.

Productive self-reliant environments evolve through thoughtful integration
of land, water, plants, people, animals, shelter, technologies and
community.

The purpose of this workshop is to create a comfortable, supportive
environment for women to learn Permaculture principles, strategies, and
basic techniques. By considering the 'whole picture' the workshop will
concentrate on practical examples of how to evolve efficient, bountiful,
and beautiful environments.

Topics included:
* Permaculture principles and methods
* Observation skills, site analysis, and design
* Natural cycles and pattern recognition
* Plant identification
* Water harvesting
* Soil building
* Edible landscaping, organic gardening, and tools
* Animal husbandry
* Appropriate technology and housing
* Urban strategies
