📅 January 16, 2026 | 📍 Bath, England | 🏷️ workshop

This comprehensive Permaculture Design Workshop, presented by Hamish Evans of Middle Ground Growers, offers an in-depth introduction to permaculture as an ecological design science. Participants will explore how permaculture maximizes diversity and relational thriving for projects, farms, and ecosystems at various scales. The workshop covers essential topics including the ethics and principles of permaculture design, the practical design process, and how to apply permaculture concepts at different scales—from small gardens to larger agricultural operations. Attendees will benefit from the facilitators' direct experience in designing, implementing, and operating successful permaculture gardens and farms, with real-world examples and case studies demonstrating permaculture in practice. The workshop includes a detailed walkthrough of a design process example, providing participants with practical frameworks they can apply to their own projects. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some gardening experience, this workshop emphasizes that permaculture is for everyone and welcomes participants from all backgrounds and contexts. The event takes place in a beautiful earth-floor classroom located in a new solar barn at Weston Spring Farm, offering views over the working farm and creating an inspiring learning environment. Lunch is provided from farm-grown produce, giving attendees a taste of the regenerative agriculture principles being taught. The organizers are committed to accessibility and offer sliding scale ticket pricing with supported rates for low-income individuals and new entrant growers. They also welcome inquiries about dietary requirements and other accessibility needs to ensure all participants can fully engage with the workshop. This is an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in sustainable food production, ecological design, or regenerative farming to take what they describe as 'the regenerative leap' and gain practical knowledge applicable to their own permaculture and growing journeys.
