PERMACULTURE

Pemaculture is a method of gardening, and living, that looks to nature for guidance, emulating the patterns found in natural ecosystems. The word Permaculture is a combination of permanent and agriculture, and stresses the importance of low maintainance perennial crops, natural water catchment, and low energy inputs. Permaculture is, in many ways, acting out our commitment to Deep Ecology.

Below you will find links to pdf files containing the complete text of 15 pamphlets based on the 1981 Permaculture Design Course given by Bill Mollison (the father of Permaculture) at The Rural Education Center, Wilton, New Hampshire, USA.

In deference to the monumental tasks of love in this work, often painstaking, always careful and caring, and with Bill Mollison's consent, these documents have been placed in the public domain. Their reproduction is free to all and encouraged. Credit, above all to Bill Mollison and secondly to Yankee Permaculture, is proper and appreciated.
