The Permaculture Design Certificate course (also known as a PDC) is offered all over the world in various formats and with some variations to suit the local conditions and the teaching team’s specialties.
We have tailored our PDC to the local conditions of our bioregion in the US Northeast and Eastern Canada. Because we have extensive ongoing design experience with farms, residences and community projects, the teaching comes from real-life examples of permaculture in our region.
Summer 2026 dates have been announced! May 16-17, June 6-7, June 26-28, July 24-26, August 7-9
Note that these are a mix of 2-day and 3-day weekends.
We have spent many years teaching the PDC at MOFGA’s Common Ground Education Center in Unity, Maine. MOFGA graciously co-sponsors this program in support of the value it brings to their agricultural and gardening membership across the state. The venue is especially good for those of you who want to “get away” to a peaceful, rural setting and camp under the stars while learning permaculture with your cohort. Attendees to this location often refer to their PDC as “going to permaculture camp!” Camping is not only available, it is free and encouraged. We often have festivities in the evenings, and our class becomes a small community for the time we are together.
