Celebrating 10 Years of
People & Permaculture
Designing personal, collective and planetary well-being,
It’s been 10 years since Looby published People & Permaculture - Designing personal, collective and planetary well-being, in March 2012.
People & Permaculture is a pioneering book, it was the first book globally to explore how to use permaculture design and principles for people. It widened the definition of permaculture and takes it into the heart of our own lives, relationships and society. It helped launch and evolve the social permaculture movement.

Corona Virus Update (edited 28th March 2022)
Like all of you we are living in a world where we now have the constant extra element to accommodate for when we schedule and plan our courses at Applewood. We have safely run in person courses in 2021, so that we can all feel safe, maximise learning and keep the social elements we all need and appreciate an integral part of our courses. We are fortunate that most of our courses take place in Spring, Summer and early Autumn and can be outside. We have a full season of in person courses booked this year, 2022 and will continue to work in the same safe way.
If when we get to the time of the course we have to cancel, we will offer the option of a full refund. If you have to drop out because you are ill or having to self isolate, we will also offer a full refund and you can always transfer your fees to another course.
E-mail Emma at applewoodcourses@yahoo.com if you would like to book on or be kept updated about a specific course and do sign up for our news letter to be kept up-to-date with all our news and coming course dates. Sign up to our news letter here.
