Testamonial from PermoAfrica

Again, brother Steve Jones let me Express my happiness to say that this course taking place in Kenya at our community organic permaculture project training centre, in fact it has great impact to the students. I have been used to get daily phone calls from them, they appreciate the teaching and say this is a very wonderful course, and something they have never heard of before. In general they love it and after the course they were going to work and also to share the sustainable knowledge they have with their community members, that's something sounds good, and positive, and it's something that's going to make our organisation sector39 be more productive and strong globally.

Feedback from PermoAfrica week 3

Practical at Treflach farm

Our practical job this week was to harvest the willow coppice we have groing in our communitygarden in a village a few miles away. These are willow rods and are one years’ worth of growth and htey will re-grow to this size or more by the end of the growing season this year. We wait until the leaves fall in winter before we harvest the rods, which we will use for making a living fence, at our new community garden we are developing at the farm.
