Kootenay Permaculture is a centre for research and education in Permaculture & ecological living in British Columbia, Canada. We are designing and implementing permaculture principles and techniques at Spiral Farm; a ten acre farm in Winlaw in the Slocan Valley situated in the West Kootenay (near Nelson) in British Columbia, Canada since 1993. The Forest Garden was also started in 1993, it is one of the oldest forest garden in Canada. It already produces a diversity of fruits, berries, nuts, medicinal herbs, and fibre crops such as basket willows and bamboos. It is an ideal site for people to come to learn and practice Permaculture. We have been offering the Annual Permaculture Design Course in partnership with Selkirk College at the farm since 2002. Kootenay Permaculture has also taught (or teaches) Permaculture Design Courses in Quebec, Ontario, BC, Manitoba & Nova Scotia.
