Permaculture school launches in Asheville

A 12-week permaculture school in Asheville will launch in 2015, teaching students how to create landscapes that maintain the health and resilience of natural systems while also providing food, water, energy, shelter, income and spiritual fulfillment. 

“There is no more waiting. We must act in accordance with what we know to be true,” said Janell Kapoor, co-founder of the Permaculture School. “Understanding the language of nature and dedicating our lives to creating systems that will endure, restore and regenerate a living future for all is the invitation of our times.” 

The Permaculture School is a college-level program taught by the region’s leading practitioners and longtime global experts in the topic. Students are eligible for college credit. 

The program will accept 30 new students and 10 community members for its inaugural year, May 23 to Aug. 14, 2015.
