 Permaculture: creating sustainable human habitats by following
nature's patterns. This one-day workshop will introduce the ideas, principles, ethics and
design process of permaculture. By the end of the workshop participants should have an
answer to the question "What is permaculture?", have gained an overview of the
ethics and principles of permaculture, and be able to begin to apply permaculture design
principles within their own situations and environments, as well as know where to find
further information.

2. Designing a pan-sensory garden for health
Thrive's National Office, Reading, Berkshire
Wednesday 14th August 2002
 Sensory
gardens: This course has been specially put together for people who want to
create a garden that is enjoyable for everyone, and will appeal to design professionals
and amateur gardeners alike. All gardens are sensory gardens; but not all gardens fully
meet the needs of older people, or those with sight or hearing problems. The training day
will be a fun, practical way to learn how to adapt or design a 'sensory' environment, for
those with varying mobility, disabilities and sensory impairments. Elements will include
accessible design and planting ideas and low-cost options for people on a budget.
Course fees are £70 for Thrive members and £99 for non-members. For
bookings or further information, contact Sue Twigg on 0118 988 5688,
