*Dan Hemenway Permaculture Design Workshop*

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

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
