Frequently Asked Questions


What is this course all about?

Reading your Land is a course where you learn the tools and techniques to understand your land well. A good permaculture design starts with a good understanding of your land. Too often, people skim over this stage, and simply see the land as a square on a piece of paper. Take it from me, you will not have a robust design without Reading your Land first.

Who is this 'Reading your Land' course for? 

This course is for you if you have a parcel of land which you are planning to develop the permaculture way. The land may have nothing at present, or may already have an orchard or a garden. To transition it into a robust & resilient permaculture landscape, you need to understand the land and your own needs. That is when this course is useful.

Will I be able to design my permaculture garden after this course? 

After this course you will be able to lay the foundation of your permaculture design. The actual design you will learn in the course The Permaculture Design. But you won't be able to  actually make the permaculture design without completing this course first.
