We are hosting renowned author and teacher Toby Hemenway to teach an intensive Permaculture course, sure to inspire and transform participants!

Permaculture uses ecological principles to create sustainable human communities that have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. The 72-hour Permaculture Design Course is offered over six weekends October 2012 - March 2013.

This certification course provides a framework for decision-making and right livelihood, and will give you holistic tools for food, water, and energy security; building healthy communities and economies; and many other issues. This life-changing course is ideal for homeowners, gardeners, teachers, design and real estate professionals, and anyone interested in creating a sustainable future.

The course is adapted to a wide variety of learning styles and is presented via lecture, images, video, group discussion, exercises, and design projects. Students will have opportunity to install elements of a Permaculture learning garden on campus.

Toby Hemenway is the author of Gaia’s Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture, which for the last seven years has been the best-selling permaculture book in the world. Find out more about Toby on his website: http://www.patternliteracy.com/biography-for-toby-hemenway.
