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
Larry Santoyo has taught environmental design courses at universities
nationwide, including UC Berkeley and California State Polytechnic
University. Since 1983, he has assisted private individuals in the design
and installation of residential ecosystems and has assisted companies in
developing industrial ecologies and sustainable business practices Larry
serves as the senior planner for Earthflow Design Works, a principal in the
land management group Open Circle LLC, and the co-director of The Terra
