Workshop Module 2: Natural Patterns and Permaculture Design 71
- Measure the approximate size of each existing element on the land using the
same method of calculation that was used to create the map boundaries (i.e.
personal paces, etc). - Measure the approximate location of each of these existing elements on the
location using the rectangle and “x” as a reference point. - Document the approximate size and location each of these existing elements on
the map using the same method of calculation that was used to create the map
boundaries.
Step 3
- Identify and document the location and size of your ideas for new elements on
the map. - Create a list of new elements you want to include in the design.
- Choose locations for the new elements you want to include, such as gardens,
ponds, etc. - Mark the location of the new elements using string, stakes, rocks, etc.
- Measure the approximate size of each of these new elements on the land using
the same method of calculation that was used to create the map boundaries (i.e.
personal paces, etc). - Measure the approximate location of each of these new elements on the land
using the rectangle(s) and “x” as a reference points. - Document the approximate size and location each of these new elements on
the map using the same method of calculation that was used to create the map
boundaries.
Once the participants have completed their scaled maps they can present the
results to the entire group for feedback.
