Would these be hosted at Nick’s site in Louisiana, the Spirko homestead, or a third location?

They will be hosted here in Saline Louisiana at my site. Some of the Earthworks Workshops will be hosted elsewhere in the US, we are currently working with the schedules of people wanting to host workshops in Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Missouri. I am also teaching a short Introduction to Permaculture with an emphasis on water catchment and retention in Cheyenne Wyoming in June.

Cheyenne, Wyoming

Permaculture/ Survival Event

June 21st 2014
Cheyenne, Wyoming

A Bee Friendly Company, INC. is teaming up with I.P.U.G. (a local prepping, homesteading, and survival group) to offer a one day course
June 21st 2014 on the art of permaculture.

Our Keynote speaker will be Nick Ferguson.

Nick Ferguson (heard on The Survival Pod Cast Episode-1204) is a passionate and active permaculturist who is currently building his property into a Permaculture school called Permaculture Classroom. Before earning his PDC and Earthworks Course certification from Geoff Lawton (world reknowned permaculturist and teacher), Nick grew up gardening, and he and his extended family were heavily into alternative agriculture. Nick now manages and cares for a multi-million dollar estate outside of a large metropolitan area. Nick’s real passion is teaching sustainable living systems and design, and for this reason he is building a Permaculture demonstration site, school, and sustainable farm.

This day long series of classes will be an amazing opportunity for you to receive extensive education on topics that will save you money, time, and provide valuable information on prepping for good times and bad. We have guest speakers coming to talk on several topics (see schedule) beyond just permaculture. This course is from 7am to 5pm+ with Q&A at the end. Nick will be here for the whole day, and available for a few mins of FREE consultation. The price for this course would not even cover a consultation from Nick. Getting information like this almost never comes at this price. We hope that you will attend and give yourself and your family the benefit of this valuable information!

*** NOTES: Bring a shovel, gloves, & proper foot ware. We are going to make a swell so you can actually see how it works. There will be a small piece of equipment on site so think safety, bring vest if you have one.

* If you want more to eat or drink, bring it ( Example: an adult beverage AFTER the earthworks) but I am sure you will not leave my table hungry! NUMBER ONE THING, have a good Time! If you feel that you cannot contain yourself and behave in a respectful manner, don’t come. I think you know some of the people that will be here and I am sure they will help you leave.
