Do you want to become an expert on your own garden or farm?

Site assessment is the first step in good permaculture design. Every site is unique and a successful design is based on observing and understanding the human and natural capacities available at the site. This four-hour class will discuss data collection, base maps, zone and sector analysis, identifying design drivers, and explore critical relationships for jumpstarting a healthy growing system. We will do small group design exercises and use sections from Map Your Place: A Permaculture Workbook for Growing Food as a resource. The goal is for you to leave the class with an understanding of site assessment and the confidence to do it at your own site.

**Please bring a paragraph describing your vision and goals for your site along with photos or drawings if you have them. Also bring $5 to cover the cost of materials for Map Your Place.
