Offshoots Permaculture Visit

A group of twenty Year 7 Core Skills Investigation students recently visited the Offshoots Permaculture Project, based in the old walled garden of Towneley Park, Burnley. Offshoots is a thriving one acre organic fruit and vegetable garden boasting five different forms of eco-friendly buildings that are renewably powered and used daily.

The students toured the site and witnessed upcycling first hand.  They had a very enjoyable and informative visit and were a credit to college both in terms of behaviour and the interest they showed in permaculture.

If you are interested in visiting Offshoots Permaculture yourself, it is open to the public on the first Saturday of every month, free of charge.  For more information take a look at the Offshoots website - http://www.offshoots.org.uk/
