Learn how Permaculture Design can meet and exceed human needs by
transforming human gardens and communities into fully functioning
ecosystems. Receive hands-on experience on how to apply the principles of
ecological design in your own home, farm, neighborhood, and city.
Permaculture is an integrated ecological design system for creating
sustainable human settlements. Far more than a set of gardening tips and
techniques, Permaculture is about understanding and designing the
connections between people, the earth, plants, energy, climate, water,
transportation, shelter, animals, economics and much more.

This course is for: Home owners, renters, gardeners, farmers, ranchers,
landscapers, architects, builders, developers, civic planners, educators,
environmentalists, students … everyone who wishes to learn how to live
sustainably and apply the principles of holistic design to their respective
fields.
