permaculture

[Nathan Ayers <ayers.nathan@gmail.com>]

In May of 2012, Michigan became the first midwestern state to welcome
Austrian farmer and permaculture visionary Sepp Holzer, along with his
assistants Judith Anger and Immo Fiebrig. As part of our course, students
installed one of Sepp’s signature “Krater gartens” at the Catherine
Ferguson Academy in Detroit. This was a powerful hands on experience for
all involved, and resulted in an agricultural transformation that continues
to inspire awe and hope.

As Sepp realizes the global demand for Holzer Permakul
tur, he has given his blessing for this team to begin teaching and
installing his systems and techniques around the world. They have chosen
historic Highland Park, Michigan, birthplace of the Ford Motor Company as
their first destination.

Accomplished international designers certified in Holzer Permakultur,
Judith Anger, Immo Fiebrig and Johnny Peham have authored the urban
Permaculture book “Jedem Sein Grun!” (Everyone has the right to grow). The
book's creation was overseen by Sepp, has been very successful in Europe,
and will see a 2013 release in the United States. This is the beginning of
Sepp’s legacy, as taught by his most intrepid and skilled graduates.

Our 3 day course will feature hands on site evaluation, design and
installation at 3 separate Highland Park sites - 2 residential homes and
one large scale Holzer Krater Garten, to be located at Distributed Power’s
new Rhiza Farms.

Your host for Team Sepp: Holzer Permakultur USA is Nathan Ayers, director
of Chiwara Permaculture Research & Education. Nathan instructed the first
Permaculture Design Courses taught in Highland Park in 2010 & 2011, and
continues to work with his graduates through the Highland Park Permaculture
Guild.

Join Judith, Immo, Johnny and Nathan for the launch of this historic course
and installation. Take home the knowledge and skills to begin installing
Holzer Permakultur this year, where you live.
