Learning and teaching permaculture

Permaculture is a way of living that aims to regenerate the planet for future generations. It is based on observing and imitating natural ecosystems, which are self-sufficient and produce no waste. Permaculture principles extend beyond gardening or sustainable living and include social justice and equity. Tropical permaculture is built on the knowledge and practices of indigenous communities, who have been living in harmony with nature for centuries. At Avalon, we continuously learn and incorporate traditional knowledge and practices of indigenous communities into our homestead and our permaculture education program.
