You are cordially invited to the launch of the second edition of
'PERMACULTURE: A BEGINNERS GUIDE' written and illustrated by Graham
Burnett on Friday 19th September, 7pm onwards at The Reading Rooms,
Housmans Bookshop, 5 Caledonian Road, King Cross, London N1 9DX (5
minutes walk from Kings Cross station)
"We live in challenging times. Peak oil has made us aware that many of
the resources we depend upon are limited; rivers are running dry;
deforestation continues at an alarming rate; and we are beginning to
experience the effects of climate change.
Our future need not be full of doom and gloom. There is indeed a way
forward, and that way is exciting! Permaculture offers us the chance to
create a low energy sustainable society, where, through careful design,
and with a new awareness, we can begin to solve and maybe even undo some
of the problems we have caused.
Everything I have come to understand about the principles of
permaculture is summed up in this wonderfully readable and accessible book."
> From the forward by Brigit Strawbridge of BBC TV's ‘Its Not Easy Being
Green’.
What is Permaculture? Why do we need Permaculture? What are Permaculture
ethics and the principles of working with nature’s patterns? What are
the basics of the Permaculture design process? What are concepts such as
zones, sectors, edge, stacking and succession, and how they can work for
us? How can you use Permaculture practically in your life, home, garden,
land or community, whatever your situation?
An experienced permaculture practioner, designer and teacher, Graham
Burnett will be providing all the answers. His the latest edition of his
book on the subject, which includes a forward writen, ‘Permaculture, a
Beginners Guide’ will encourage you to apply its ethics and principles
of sustainability, and working with rather than against nature, to your
land (whether it’s a windowbox or a 1000-hectare farm), your community
and your life.
