This course will be taught both in the classroom and hands-on outdoors, where students will experience real life permaculture applications, such as gardening, animal systems, rainwater collection, composting, alternative energy,  erosion control, earthworks, and tiny home construction. This course is for urban, suburban, and rural living and design.  Our focus is on learning a lot of new information, but our goal is to change the lens that students see and think about the world. The experience of the Permaculture Design Course will hopefully give each student purpose. Purpose to guide any profession or walk of life, a spark of why, and a reason to be hopeful about how humans can impact the world positive.

This course is limited to 12 participants.
