“Tutor was brilliant, really helpful, inspiring, friendly and supportive. Really good to see working examples of Permaculture in practice. Great to learn about local projects. Has really improved my confidence in group participation and has given me loads more optimism in general.”

“Ruth O’Brien is an incredible teacher with a marvelous aptitude for making her students feel like they have discovered the way to make a huge difference in the world which so many of us are told we are harming so horribly but seem to never be told how to begin to fix the problems we are causing. Ruth clearly leads a life based on the values taught through permaculture and helps others to see the simple way in which everything in nature and in life are interrelated and therefor just the smallest modifications in the way we do things have a great impact.”

“An impressive mixture of teaching styles and a lovely teacher.”

“I feel more open to possibilities, practical work seems more easily achievable, with this comes a sense of looking forward.”

“Inspiration to go on to do more permaculture within my lifestyle.”

“Learnt new practical ideas to apply to home and work life. I feel more enthusiatic and confident.”

“Working towards a personal permaculture design was very rewarding.”
