After 14 years, an abundance of learning, many wonderful times and many wonderful students, Common Edge permaculture courses have come to a closure.
Helen will be focussing energy on nourishing her garden (along with all the wildlife there) and enjoying special times with her family.
Emily continues to grow her teaching through seeds sown at Common Edge. She runs Muck & Magic in Stroud, in partnership with Shila Brown. (Emily and Shila met through one of Helen’s Permaculture courses.)
If you’re looking for Permaculture resources and communities there’s amazing online information, including via: the UK Permaculture Association, Permaculture Magazine, and Stroud permaculture email group.
If you’re looking for Permaculture courses in the south/west then check-out:
Muck & Magic (Stroud and around), Shift Bristol, or Looby Macnamara Permaculture at Applewood Permaculture.
And you can source from and be inspired by many bountiful permaculture-rooted projects in or around Stroud. e.g. Good Small Farms, Common Soil, Oakbrook Farm, and Bisley Community Compost Scheme.
Thank you to all our collaborators and students who have shared in growing earth-care, people-care and future-care over the years. There are healthier soils around us and brighter smiles in communities because of you. Goodbye!
Our seasonal training events hope to add a bit of nature nurture to your life. Here’s the public workshops we have coming up in the South West. For any bespoke courses please get in touch. Aug 11 to Aug 15 Eco Skills Camp (summer, Stroud) Mon, Aug 11, 2025 4:00 PM Fri, Aug 15, 2025 1:00 PM Goo...
