Held on March 7-8, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at Paper Garden on Teredo Street in London, England (SE16), this event by Social Landscapes introduces the foundational principles of permaculture through interactive sessions, site visits, and group activities.

Key learning includes permaculture zones and sectors, ethical frameworks, earthworks basics, and companion planting for organic yields, with a focus on London's temperate climate challenges like water conservation and pollution mitigation. Instructors from the local permaculture community provide personalized guidance, sharing stories from UK-based projects in agroecology and ecovillages.
