Permaculture Intro at Muslim Organic Farm

[muzammal hussain]

Peace,

 

This may be of interest to members of this group. It's a 1-Day Permaculture Course -although not in Sheffield (in Oxfordshire) it's at the first Muslim organic farm in the country. Booking link is below.

 

There would also be a few places for camping at the farm e..g if you want to come the day before, and this would need to be arranged directly with Willowbrook farm itself. Or you can check out local B&B's.

 

More info via the links below, and also happy if you want to contact me direct.

 

Salams,
