Welcome Andrew!!!

Hello & welcome Andrew!!

Happy to hear of your arrival Andrew. I'm looking forward to learning what you have to share. I am new to the tradition of permaculture and I'm anxious to apply it to my life.

Thanks for the welcome folks and thanks to Paul and Adrien for setting this up. I really appreciate this melding of minds and sharing of ideas that happen on this site

Andrew's PDC is excellent. He and Marisha do a really good job of maximizing the advantages of the online format and making it work well.

Andrew - I'll post some updates when I get a chance on my progress implementing the design on my site. Some of the neighbors think I'm crazy, which means I'm on the right track. (Some others are watching closely to see if it's something they could imitate.)

Welcome Andrew and thanks for your generosity.

Welcome Andrew and good luck to everyone, that's one heck of a prize.

Welcome, Andrew.

Wicked nice of you to hook us Permies up with a shot at some great information!

Welcome Andrew, thank you for sharing your time with us.

Welcome Andrew,

Could you tell me how often the ePDC you teach is available?
I have been looking for a design intensive PDC, and it seems your course would be perfect. I'd like to plan to take one in the future, but wonder on the frequency of the course.

Also, huge thanks for the keyline videos from southern oregon! great to see mature systems in place and working.
keep up the great work.

Welcome Andrew and thank you for taking the time to read and answer our questions.

Kelly,
We run the course three times per year. fall, winter and spring terms at OSU. The fall and spring classes are non-credit and less expensive, open to anyone without having to enter the university system. The winter term course is for-credit, and costs 1/3 more. It's the same class, you just get OSU credits for it if you are earning a degree in something.

Thanks for the feedback on the videos! I wish I had time to make more right now because I've got a few good ones in my head, but it'll have to wait.

Take care,

Andrew

This is a great opportunity! Boy, I'd love to win... I was looking into taking the course with you anyway, Andrew. Thanks for being here!

Hi thanks for coming:
I do not want to win a course as I am from Europe
but I will follow the week with interest and gain some more skill in designing...

Hey Andrew -
thanks for joining! I'm already signed up for your fall class, but looking forward to early info!

The generosity continues. Thanks to Andrew for teaching this important class, and to Paul and Co. for modeling persistence in good work.

Welcome! I'm glad to see more and more permaculture information becoming available. I'm perusing your site looking for ideas. I'm meeting with my admin next week with a proposal to start a school garden (in Phoenix, AZ). My goal is to learn about and incorporate permaculture practices into the school garden and the students. So much to learn, so much to pass on to our next generation of young adults. I am grateful for forums like this, and classes like yours.

Hello and Welcome "Professor Millison". This is going to be so timely and informative to so many of us. I'm a newbie, so Thanks, I need just what you have to share.
I hope we can soak up as much as you're willing to lay on us.

Welcome!

Hi, Andrew! Thanks for sharing you expertise with the community.

I ran the winner picker app and we have a winner!

Amir Salvatore

Andrew, I just wanted to say thanks a lot for setting up this promo - that was very kind of you! I'm really excited and am already looking forward to taking your PDC - it's going to be awesome

Congratulations Amir! Please be sure to share your experience with the course. I enjoy seeing and learning from other people's projects and the process.
