Urban Permaculture Design Course at the Planet Repair Institute, Portland OR

The Planet Repair Institute is excited to announce a 15 session course on Urban Permaculture Design!

This course will offer a balance of theoretical learning and hands on implementation, with a strong emphasis on urban permaculture systems and block repair.

We will be inviting many of the bioregion’s top instructors for ecological design to explore a wide variety of topics, including Forest Gardening, Energy Systems, Rainwater Catchment, Greywater, Ponds and Swales, Natural Building, Design Methods, Ecology of Urban Spaces, Propagation and Grafting, and much more!

Cost: The cost of the course will be a sliding scale of $500-700, with scholarship options available to make the course more accessible for those in financial need.

Dates and Location: The course will be held at our Sellwood location in Southeast Portland and will consist of 15 six hour sessions on the following weekends between June and December:

I'm going to ask board members to vouch for these folks if anyone happens to know them the price location and schedule all look right for getting me a PDC under my belt. I also like the idea of a more urban focus for several reasons.

For the OP I have a lot of questions but one that I think deserves public discusion. Would you be willing to support an attempt to get PCC or Portland State to provide some college credit to PDC Graduates?
