Due to popular demand, we are once again offering our courses! This time, it's a one-day practical course at the beautiful Our Wonder House in Nairobi!
Learn the Basics of Gardening and Permaculture with us!
Join us for this exciting one-day Intro to Gardening and Permaculture Course on Saturday, September 26th at Our WonderHouse.
Are you tired of gardening that only goes skin deep? It's time to go beyond traditional methods and discover a way of growing that restores, regenerates, and truly sustains. Permaculture encourages you to create abundance while caring for the earth, using principles that align with nature, not oppose it.
Urban permaculture is about more than just plants, it involves redesigning how we live, grow, and thrive in the city. From balconies to backyards, small spaces, whatever you have, we’ll show you how any area can become productive, resilient, and vibrant.
We will delve right into permaculture, soil health, composting techniques, garden bed design, and methods. We will explore your experiences, but don't worry; you don't need any prior experience to join this course!
Permaculture is a way of designing gardens, farms, and even communities that work with nature instead of against it.
It’s about:
Caring for the Earth – keeping the soil, water, and plants healthy.
Caring for people – making sure we have good food, shelter, and community.
Sharing fairly – using resources wisely and making sure there’s enough for everyone (including future generations).
In practice, it means growing food in a way that’s sustainable, regenerative, and low-waste. Instead of chemicals and constant inputs, permaculture uses smart design, like planting crops that help each other grow, harvesting rainwater, composting, and creating systems where “waste” becomes a resource.
It’s basically nature-inspired design for living well.
