29 - 30th June South West Permaculture Convergence. 2 day gathering

for people interested and involved in permaculture across the region.

If people want to come early to help prepare the event or if they want

to hang around afterwards to do some voluntary work at Blagdon that's

fine. We'ed like to make this a really big event and people

from all over are welcome to attend.

 

A series of Wetland Ecosystem Treatment (WET System) Courses

with Jay and Clara Treebough of Biologic Design

will run between September 2002 and September 2003.

The first will take place the month of September 2002

on a magic hat basis. Courses will consist of designing and

implementing

the whole site water management system - enabling total

catchment to provide gravity fed water supply virtually everywhere

on the 84 acre site, incorporating site appraisal, survey and levels,

design process, pond and swale creation, water catchment, filtration,

and purification, plant irrigation, a wide range of edible and other

useful water plants, plant propagation, a 4 acre lake and associated

ponds.

 

Two weekend Woodland Gardening Courses with Stephen Nutt are planned

for 5/6th October and 26/27th October, these will revolve around

designing and creating the Garden of Love - a woodland garden in an

acre of existing woodland which is dedicated to Robert Hart.

 

Plus a Nutrition & Living Foods course Sept 1st/2nd with Sho and Dao

of

the EcoForrest, Spain, covering: The Anatomy of Digestion, Bacterial

Digestion, Health problems and Solutions and Sustainable lifestyle

options.

 

We look forward to our next Shaping the Future event, 20-23 September,

with anticipation. This will be especially focused towards

local people who want to become involved in the project and

we hope to have have a lot of interesting events.

 

We hope to see you here
