This Course Will Cover:

A Permaculture Design Course is for Everyone

By applying the basic Permaculture design principles, methods, strategies and techniques covered in this course, people can learn how to better provide for their basic needs, using local resources in cost effective, culturally appropriate, healthy and environmentally friendly ways.

This course is conveniently held on weekends, so as to accomodate individuals that are unable to attend the convention two week courses. As such, we offer this Permaculture Design Course four times a year: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

The course is designed from a learn-by-doing perspective. I try to keep lectures to a minimum, and focus on class discussion and activities.
