Bioneers Presents:

Natural Patterns and Permaculture Principles: Ecological Design Workshop
With Toby Hemenway and Larry Santoyo
Tunitas Creek Ranch, Half Moon Bay, CA
September 10-12, 2004

Two exceptional Permaculture teachers, Toby Hemenway, author of Gaia's 
Garden, A Guide to Home Scale Permaculture, and Larry Santoyo, one of the 
most experienced Permaculture designers and teachers in the U.S., will 
present a system of practical techniques that develop the skills of 
ecological design. The workshop will empower you to work with the land and 
apply design principles that increase the diversity, resilience and harmony 
of your own home-landscape or farm.

The beautiful landscape of Tunitas Creek Ranch is made up of steep slopes, 
riparian corridors, pastures, high ridges, small orchards, an abundance of 
native vegetation, and some invasive species. All of which will be used as 
part of the learning experience of assessing landscape, observing and 
understanding natural patterns, the multi functions of nature, and the 
interrelatedness of organisms and their environment. By the end of the 
program everyone will have an opportunity to do an actual design using the 
principles and techniques presented.


Toby Hemenway is the author of the first major North American book on 
permaculture, Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture, and 
associate editor of Permaculture Activist, a journal of ecological design 
and sustainable culture. Toby teaches permaculture and consults and 
lectures on ecological design throughout the country. His writing has 
appeared in magazines such as Whole Earth Review, Natural Home, and Kitchen 
Gardener
