Delve into the fascinating world of ecosystems, explore permaculture and discover the importance and impact of small green actions! This special one day workshop led by SmallWorld Urbanism and special guest Kevin Mascarenhas of Natural Flow. Kevin will introduce green fingered and environmentally minded city dwellers to ‘systems thinking’ and ecosystems versus modern agriculture, ornamental growing techniques and climate change, destructive systems versus regenerative ones.

We will introduce you to some of the tools and techniques of permaculture that you can implement in your back garden. Participants will also gain hands on practical experience potting up a micro permaculture garden for you to take home in a planter. All materials are included.

The day starts at 10am and ends at 4am
