Permaculture Ireland
Permaculture Ireland is a group of like minded individuals working together to support one another, offer events, courses and promote permaculture across the island of Ireland. There is no central organisation, rather a distributed network of volunteers who come together to create positive change.
2024 sees the first Permaculture Gathering since the pandemic, and all those involved are looking forward to rebooting this annual coming together of permaculturalists from all over the island of Ireland and beyond.
It’s back! Ar ais arís!
We are pleased to announce the return of the All Ireland Permaculture Gathering for 2024, to be held at the Slieve Aughty Centre in Co. Galway on 24-25th August, 2024.

What is permaculture?
Permaculture is a design process derived from natural systems and cycles in which we live and are a part of. Made up of a set of 3 core principles, permaculture designs can be applied to all aspects of human development in order to build healthy communities for ourselves and future generations.
