What is permaculture?
Permaculture design is a whole-systems design approach to developing sustainable human settlements and institutions. Rooted in horticulture and agriculture, permaculture design also touches on regional planning, ecology, animal husbandry, technology, architecture and international development.
Our online, instructor-led Permaculture Design Course is an introductory course and a broad survey of the permaculture design system. The course teaches the design process and lays the foundation for a lifelong study and path in permaculture.
The collaborative, academically rigorous curriculum guides students to complete regenerative landscape projects with intensive instructor feedback and one-on-one interaction to help with every step along the way.
You will learn or expand your skills and techniques of translating site observations and designs to paper or digital applications such as PowerPoint and Google Slides.
Two Tracks to Choose
We offer the standard Permaculture Design Certificate course (PDC) that follows the internationally recognized PDC curriculum. Over time, we have recognized the need for more professional-level training. Now we offer an expanded version of the traditional Permaculture Design course: the PDC Pro.
This program offers additional content, individualized mentorship and consultation on class design projects.
PDC:
For the home gardener or hobbyist wanting to design their own site or friends’ sites and learn the permaculture design curriculum, but not make a professional living from being a permaculture designer. This course includes all the curriculum required for the internationally recognized certificate.
