Cultivating Change Across Cornwall's Rame Peninsula and beyond!
Tucked into the South East of Cornwall, the stunning Rame Peninsula is a place of salty air, breath-taking beaches, winding lanes, ancient hedgerows — and a quietly growing movement rooted in soil, community and care.
We support individuals, communities and businesses to create abundant, regenerative systems through practical permaculture education, community projects and shared learning.
Whether you're new to permaculture or already on the path — you are very welcome to join us.
Permaculture Design Course
What can we learn from natural systems that give us the tools for a more ethical framework?
We provide training and professional development through our Permaculture Design Courses, benefitting the individual, community and planet
"I loved learning about permaculture, looking at examples of re greening desert, urban permaculture, tiny and massively productive city gardens, forest gardens and rooftop gardens. And that was just one day of the course. Joshua tells how to treat planet earth well through growing and harvesting in ecologically and sustainable sound ways that support biodiversity and wildlife, he’s a mine of information and a brilliant teacher with an abundance of resources.
I left the course with a permaculture design certificate wondering why Permaculture wasn’t more mainstream and why farmers weren’t using these valuable techniques in the 21st century."
