Description

Join us for this first class of our homesteading series led by expert, Jordan Bantuelle of The All You Need Institute. In this class, you will be introduced to permaculture principles and practices to help you create a robust, self-sufficient agricultural space. Permaculture is a way of designing living environments that provide for human needs in ways that regenerate ecosystems. It is founded on the ethics of caring for people and the planet, and based in the observation of natural systems. In this workshop we will discuss how the principles of Permaculture relate to our lives, and what kind of strategies can emerge from these principles. Jordan Bantuelle co-founded the All You Need Institute, where he teaches people how to provide for basic needs in ways that restore ecosystems and build community. Jordan is a native New Orleanian who studied biology at LSU, where he entered the world of environmental leadership. He's worked and managed organic farms, garden centers, urban farming organizations, and ecological landscaping companies. He's been through Master Gardener and Master Naturalist courses as well as plant ID, water management and citizen arborist programs. He holds an advanced certification in the sustainable design methodology of Permaculture, completed Mark Shepard's Restoration Agriculture course, is a Prescribed Burn Manager, and is a certified Wilderness Herbal First Responder. Jordan previously co-founded and co-operated Southbound Gardens over a 5 year period to sell produce and edible starter plants, install edible landscapes, and to teach adult urban farming workshops and school garden programs.
