Permaculture Gardening Workshop Fri 28th March 2025

Discover the transformative power of Permaculture. Hosted by our friendly gardening team, this workshop is your chance to explore sustainable gardening methods to work with nature, not against it. 

Learn how to design thriving ecosystems in your own garden, harness natural cycles, and create abundant, low-maintenance spaces. From composting and soil health to companion planting and water conservation. Whether you're new to gardening or already have green thumbs, this workshop will inspire you to grow a more harmonious future.

The workshop will include both classroom-based and practical elements. Please dress for the Great British weather and wear appropriate footwear.

We recommend reading our General Terms and Conditions, and Accessibility Guide before booking (both can be found in the footer on our main website).

Your ticket includes the workshop, admission to Careys Secret Garden and access to the Berlin Wall Exhibit. 

What is Permaculture? 

Writer Emma Chapman defines it as:

“Permaculture, originally ‘Permanent Agriculture’, is often viewed as a set of gardening techniques, but it has in fact developed into a whole design philosophy, and for some people a philosophy for life. Its central theme is the creation of human systems which provide for human needs, but using many natural elements and drawing inspiration from natural ecosystems. Its goals and priorities coincide with what many people see as the core requirements for sustainability.”

Permaculture tackles how to grow food, build houses and create communities, and also minimise environmental impact. Its principles are being constantly developed and refined by people throughout the world in very different climates and cultural circumstances.
