THE COURSE: Format and Content
The course will be a weekend PDC spread out over four weekends This format allows for extra time for students to digest the material during the week off making it a great format for a holistic learning experience. Students will also receive hands-on experience and also ample work time on the final design project and presentation. The course will be a certified through TreeYo Permaculture as we are guided by Bill Mollison’s curriculum that comprises the 14 chapters of his book “Permaculture: A Designer’s Manual”. Our schedule reflects this commitment and has a strong emphasis on how the design principles and process influence site develop and systems management. We will cover the following topics throughout the course:
++Ethics, Principles, and Methods of Permaculture Design
++Pattern Understanding: Interpretation and Application
++Climatic Factors: Broad Climatic Zones and Microclimate – Effects on Landscape and Design
++Water: Harvesting, Conservation, and landscape hydration with Earthworks
++Trees and their Energy Transactions: Tree Systems for landscapes and Tree Identification
++Soils: Classification, Food Web, and Restoration
++Aquaculture: Food Web, Aquatic Plants, Chinampas, Tyre Ponds, Water Quality Parameters
++Animal Systems: Integrate worms, chickens, goats, and many other animals in your design
++Strategies for Tropical, Dryland, and Temperate Climates: Influences on Vegetation, Housing, and Earthworks
++Introduction to Natural Building: Earth as a Building Material
++Fermentation and Nutrition: Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Sourdough Bread and Pickles
++Local Food Systems: CSA-Community Supported Agriculture, Cooperatives, Food-Coops
++Social and Economic Permaculture: Bio-Regional Organisation, Living in Communities, Transition Towns and Local Resiliency
