With Instructors Larry Santoyo & Keith Johnson. The course covers sustainable systems design for all landscapes & climates but with a strong urban permaculture focus. Detroit is perfectly poised to transform itself into protype post-carbon, post-indusrial city. Empty lots, idle hands, a low median income & a vibrant urban gardening community makes Detroit an ideal incubator for creation of a large, truly sustainable city. It is our hope this course will encourage a conversation about Detroit that will impact the current efforts to redesign the city in a way that moves planning towards sustainable, community-focused solutions with a multi-generational view of the future and the great challenges we face.
Larry Santoyo, Director, EarthFlow Design Works, is an ecological designer, land use planner & business consultant. Santoyo is among the most experienced Permaculture Designers & Educators in the US & has taught environmental design at colleges & universities nationwide including UC Berkeley & California State PolyTechnic University.
Keith was raised in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (where he learned at an early age he was related to Johnny Appleseed), & has been a commercial landscaper, stonemason, & organic gardener since 1976, in places as varied as the subtropical Bay Area of California, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Michigan, & the mountains of W. North Carolina. After devouring Permaculture One in 1978 he continued to learn all he could on the subject. He's been teaching Permaculture since '95, has instructed more than 700 students, many of those through Indiana University's annual Design Course which began in 2003. He's taught and / or trained with Bill Mollison, Larry Santoyo, Tom Ward, Penny Livingston, Peter Bane, Chuck Marsh, Starhawk, Patricia Alison, and Jerome Osentowski
This course will provide the skills to help people redesign a Detroit which can transform itself into protoype green, resilient, relocalized, post-carbon, post-indusrial city.
