Advanced Permaculture Design and Practical Skills

Advanced Permaculture Design and Practical Skills

This is where to go after a PDC to get deeper into ecological design and learn hands-on skills. The course is designed to provide the 'hows' and 'whys' of human-scale permaculture. Slow and thorough, it provides plenty of practical examples, hands-on learning experiences and time for questions and answers.

The workshop itself is carefully designed using permaculture principles and the elements of high quality adult education. The design maximizes learning while minimizing costs, allowing for a low tuition.
