Matanzas Food Forest: San Carlos Permaculture Project

Project Type

Residential

Project Summary

An amazing learning process following the Permaculture principles of observation and interaction as well as slow and steady solutions. Three young permculturists take a small backyard and turn it into something beautiful and edible.

Project Description

Three enthusiastic college buddies studying Permaculture attempt to take a small resdiential property and turn it into a Food Forest paradise incorporating a diverse group of edible, medicinal, perennial, and multifunctional species flourishing together in harmony with nature. The system will utilize advanced earthworks and hydrology designs, Water harvesting, and Composting systems to create a dynamic space that is both practical, functional, educational, and beautiful.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

pri_teacher

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
