The permaculture workshop has been busy working on learning the basic principles, visiting examples and creating diagrams for designing a permaculture site. Work with Karma farms, an innovative concept pioneered by Thomas where unused plots of land are cultivated to provide food for those in need. Participants helped create a plan of one of these plots, sort and properly store seeds and install a water catchment systems to sustain the garden.
