This month’s newsletter honors some of the great women who are working to make the world a better place with permaculture.

Below we see women working as authors, farmers, educators, organizers, and with refugee relief services. 

The last international Permaculture Conference held in Hyderabad, India in 2017 was themed “Women as Agents of Social Change” and it focussed specifically on women’s strong roles in so many of the world’s most impactful permaculture projects.

So, this newsletter is here to continue that theme and highlight some of the women that are doing great work in this field. Please enjoy! ~ Andrew Millison

I'm excited to share a new book from one of our Permaculture Design Course graduates.

Donna Devadoss wrote an engaging and beautifully illustrated children's book that both parents and children will adore.

I love that this book made complex principles of natural science and permaculture design understandable and relatable for the young audience. 

If you're interested, you can learn more about the book here.

UPCOMING: RAINWATER HARVESTING
ONLINE COURSE

rain-water-online-class

Turn water scarcity into water abundance!

We’ve recently developed our newest course, which utilizes all of the knowledge we’ve gained from 8 years of online education. This course teaches you how to conceptualize, design, and implement sustainable water-harvesting systems for your home, landscape, and community.

Rainwater is an amazing free resource. It's more beneficial to plants than municipally supplied water and it can help:

  • Reduce storm-water runoff
  • Recharge aquifers
  • Stop groundwater depletion

Harvesting rainwater can also help you become more self-reliant with water and lower your carbon footprint.

The goal of this water catchment course is for you to create an integrated, multi-functional water-harvesting plan specific to your site and needs. By the end of the course, you will learn how to:

  • Define key rainwater harvesting concepts, terms, and principles
  • Assess a site for rainwater harvesting potential and water uses
  • Make strategic decisions about what features and systems to use for a site
