The Permaculture Association (UK)

 Permaculture is about creating sustainable human habitats by following nature's patterns. An ecological design system that inspires and empowers us to create our own solutions to local and global problems. It provides ways to design and create healthy productive places to work, rest and play.Permaculture first arrived in Britain sometime between 1979 and 1980, and since then it has blossomed from a few committed individuals to a network including hundreds of projects and thousands of practitioners working from Cornwall to the highlands of Scotland. Projects have been developed in back gardens and run down council estates, prisons and orchards, farms and schools, businesses and charitie.                 www.permaculture.org.uk
