Grow Food/Make Shelter
Learn all about growing your own healthy food and creating your own mortgage-free shelter!
Tutors: Alanna Moore & Peter Cowman
| Growing food and making affordable shelter are the keys to living a sustainable life. |
| Establishing food security and freedom from mortgage debt can be easier than one might think. |
| This workshop will focus on what people can do in the average backyard – or apartment balcony – with very little money to spend but a commitment to changing one’s life for one’s own sake and for the sake of the planet. |
| Theory and practice are presented side by side in a lively mix of talk, film, images and models in which Peter & Alanna share their considerable experience of growing food and making shelter on tight budgets and with an unfailing commitment to sustainable principles. |
| As well as dealing with the physical aspects of sustainable living, the workshop will also address the hidden aspects of change – particularly, understanding the nature of the resistances one normally encounteres and how to overcome these. |
| Participants will learn how to produce delicious food in small spaces using the principles of permaculture garden design, and, how to design and construct small affordable sustainable buildings following living architecture principles. With an emphasis is on positive action, these essential skills will provide participants with a solid foundation on which to construct a sustainable future for themselves |
