International Permaculture Day is an ongoing celebration of all things permaculture happening around the world and culminating in a global day of celebration on the first Sunday in May annually (or thereabouts).
Permaculture is a design system for sustainable living that developed in Australia in the 1970s and is now practiced by millions worldwide. It’s about working with nature to create homes and communities that are environmentally friendly, productive and self reliant, and includes a wide range of ecological disciplines and practices such as organic agriculture, renewable energy, waste recycling, water harvesting, holistic animal management, natural building, sustainable economics, community building and earth repair.
