3 Day Intensive FAQ
What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is the science of applied ecological design that explicitly supports the care of the earth, the care of people and shares surplus. It is fundamentally based in abundance. Through working with nature, rather than against it, permaculture allows us to creatively redesign our world by creating individual and community sovereignty in an environment with less energy and resource needs.
What is SOULPATCH?
Summer Camp Music Festivals’ long-term garden space dedicated to permaculture and urban gardening education! SOULPATCH is an interactive demonstration area where festival attendees can learn basic and advanced techniques — throughout the weekend there will be experts on hand ready to answer any questions and help you plan your garden space back home! 2017 marks the 4th year of gardening education at Summer Camp. The development of SOULPATCH will grow over time demonstrating a variety of growing methods and natural building techniques, take part in the 3 Day Intensive and help build the 2017 iteration of SOULPATCH!
