Welcome to Aotearoa Permaculture Workshop

the intersection of permaculture, systems thinking, ecology and natural sciences, design, bioregioning and place-based community learning.


Welcome! Nau mai! Haere mai!

We're delighted you're here.

Whether you're just discovering permaculture or have been on this journey for many years, APW is a place to learn, explore, question and connect.

Since 2008 we've been supporting people across Aotearoa to better understand the world through ecology, systems thinking, design and regenerative practice—and to apply that learning in their homes, workplaces and communities.
