AfSL supported local Permaculturists to facilitate the internationally recognised 72 Hour Permaculture Design Course - certified by the UK Permaculture Association - in Hulme during June and July 2006.

The course equipped participants with core permaculture design skills, and included a practical design project on a local space in the area.

It included:

  • Outdoor activities - growing food and wildlife studies
  • Visits - Glebelands organic market garden, Sale, plus a weekend away to Growing With Grace organic market garden and Middlewood Permaculture Trust in Lancashire
  • Sessions - trees, soil and compost, water, renewable energy, low impact building, eco-footprinting, food enterprise, box schemes, personal development, thinking and learning skills

The Program was facilitated by Julia Frankel and Rob Squires, who are both local, experienced permaculture activists and teachers. There was also a variety of guest speakers and teachers.
