Who Should Take This Course
The Permaculture Design Course has truly transformed the lives and enhanced the careers of thousands of people around the world, including architects, landscapers, community developers, social workers, city planners, teachers, students, farmers, gardeners, homeowners, business owners and others. For anyone serious about creating a sustainable society!

THE CURRICULUM
The A to Z of Sustainability! A more fun or informative course would be hard to find. Our text book, Permaculture: A Designer’s Manual, by Bill Mollison, was once reviewed by Whole Earth saying “If information had density… this book would be a black hole!..”

In addition to the developing country experience, the “hands-on learning” focus of the course will be the Design Team Exercises. As we arrive at the different parts of the curriculum, we’ll learn how, when and where to apply those principles and techniques and, become able to include those recommendations in the final design project presentations.

As one of our recent design course graduates said about her course experience,
” It’s the relationship that we build with each other and with nature that will get us through anything. ”

For those looking to get more experience in Observation Skills, Natural Building, Sustainable Landscape Construction, Art in the Garden & more, additional hands-on workparties will be scheduled outside of the course.
