*Dan Hemenway Permaculture Design Workshop*

Friday, January 31 through Sunday February 2, 2014.
Moccasin Lake Nature Park, Clearwater, FL

Grow Permaculture is pleased to present a rare opportunity -- a 
Permaculture Design Workshop by Dan Hemenway, veteran permaculturist 
with more than 30 years of experience teaching and applying permaculture 
in Florida and around the world. Dan will take students through the 
design process at a typical suburban home. This is an opportunity to 
gain valuable insights from the top veteran permaculture designer in 
Florida in an infrequently offered in-person workshop.  The Friday 
evening lecture that launches the workshop will be open to the general 
public for $20.

In the workshop, Dan will cover some basic and important aspects
and tools of design and walk you through the site to go over specifics about
the potentials of that site. You will get to participate in the process 
of a design, and will be exposed to tools and ideas that you will be 
able to use on your own property.

The workshop will remain intimate and has limited enrollment so
please register early to reserve your spot. This workshop is expected to 
sell out early.

Cost:  Friday Lecture: $20  Weekend Workshop: $249.  Early bird: If paid 
in full before December 25 at midnight,  2013, the cost is $230.

Organic, fair trade coffee and tea, a mostly vegan lunch on
Saturday and Sunday, and mostly vegan supper on Saturday evening are 
included in the price.

We offer a limited number of scholarships for people active in
their communities who cannot afford the cost. We also accept payment plans.

Please contact us early for more info.

It is suggested that students purchase study materials 3 months
ahead of the workshop, so that you can read them before the workshop 
begins. You will get a lot more out of the workshop if you study these 
materials first. You will receive a list of suggested reading materials 
upon registration or RSVP.

If childcare is needed, please contact us four weeks in advance to arrange.
