Easy and Affordable
First weekends of each month through Sept 2010
50% work-trade, payment plans and discounts for teachers are still available.

Join us one weekend a month for 6 months. Permaculture is a design approach that uses ecological principles to help create sustainable communities that can have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. Permaculture goes well beyond just being a "gardening system" and offers a positive framework for critical decision-making, problem solving and finding your right livelihood.

This certificate course will give you tools for food security, water and energy conservation ; building social capital; developing a sustainable economy; and much more.

Design professionals can add new qualifications to their resumes and can offer sustainability services to their clients. Homeowners, gardeners, and land managers learn to increase the value and productivity of their property. Real estate and development companies are able to better address the public's growing concern for the environment- and teachers will learn to integrate permaculture design into their curriculum.
