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.
