One Straw Presents : 

Elphinstone Permaculture Design Certificate Course 

with Delvin & Grace Solkinson and local guest teachers  

 

Learn, Gather, Grow 

 

Join a group of likeminded people to learn about how nature designs itself and how we can become more effective decision makers and designers ourselves. Visit amazing local gardens, farms and forest locations including One Tiny Farm and EdenForest. Do practical hands on activities including unique food preservation, medicine making and homesteading skills. Lectures have been transformed into interactive discussions and games and most of the course happens outside in nature. 

 

Apply your learnings to the year long focus project for the program which is to start a map and design for a meaningful place like a garden or home.

 

Meet once a month on Saturdays for this adventure into Elphinstone Permaculture Design. 

 

Delvin co-designed and co-built the Heart Gardens in Roberts Creek, co-led a team building learning gardens at many Sunshine Coast elementary schools and public places, and has taught Permaculture Design Certificate Courses in the Elphinstone Rainforest with the support of One Straw Society since co-teaching the program with Robin Wheeler in the mid 2000’s. Grace grew up on a small family farm in Washington State. She has learned & taught permaculture internationally. Her extensive experience with animals, homesteading skills, green building food preservation and medicine enrich the course. Together they form a dynamic male-female teaching team.
