Designing for Abundance

This 8 unit learning program introduces Permaculture through Geography (Grade 4-6) and takes learners through a process of coming up with a Permaculture Design for their school.

Abundance is an important concept in Permaculture and we believe that, with careful design and belief, it is possible in every situation. This book is aimed at using the inherent abundance in Permaculture systems and harnessing them for education and job creation purposes. We have found this process powerful – we hope that you do too

This book is will introduce you to Permaculture as a way of bringing Geography alive, and making it relevant in daily life. It will also help towards designing educational environments that are stimulating and productive. We hope you enjoy the process as much as we have.

SEED (Schools Environmental Education and Development) works at transforming learning environments through Permaculture. SEED has grown out of the harsh Cape Flats Primary School Environment and is now rolling out a national programme that incorporates this school-based work and also focuses on accredited Permaculture Facilitator Training.
