Join us for a weekend journey to explore the
basics of the permaculture design process.
Participants will work on a permaculture design
for a central Oklahoma City urban property. The
group will be divided into teams, each of which
will have a specific aspect of the design to
prepare. The instructors will be Dan and Cynthia
Hemenway, of Elfin Permaculture, a project of the
Barking Frogs Permaculture Center in Florida.

The workshop has 3 components: (1) an
introductory slide show which applies permaculture
to many different areas, (2) Classroom work, with
a broad spectrum of discussion, and (3) design
work, which will be focused on an urban property.
Following the workshop, on Sunday afternoon, there
will be a time for participants to ask questions
about their own projects.

Participants must submit a one page information
sheet about themselves, and a one page description
of their permaculture project. This information
will be shared with the other students in the
workshop. Students are expected to attend all
sessions of the weekend workshop; the Sunday late
afternoon discussion of personal projects is
optional. There is a list of required readings
that must be completed before the workshop begins.
Although the design work will focus on an urban
property, people with properties in rural and
suburban areas will learn much that can be useful
for their own design projects.

DAN HEMENWAY, founder of Elfin Permaculture, is
recognized as one of the most innovative and
effective teachers of permaculture. Since 1981, he
has taught workshops, design courses and advanced
programs from Mexico to Canada and in Europe,
Asia, and the Pacific, and now offers an Internet

diplomas in various aspects of permaculture from
the International Permaculture Institute.

Permaculture and Associate Editor of The
