In our experience, learning about permaculture can be expensive, intensive, or even confusing. Our courses are for the beginner who has realized that she needs to grow her own food efficiently and ethically, and doesn’t have time to fail. This course is not a full Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) for aspiring professional designers, but it is an excellent introduction to resilient gardening. 

Our workshop is designed to help you understand the basics so you can apply Permaculture principles and design tools in a small successful project. We will guide you through the process so that you actually enjoy it. 

Garden Design for Resilience is a workshop that teaches you how to design your garden to thrive and be efficiently productive. We offer an integral program of 21 days, including a lesson book and a workbook, as well as advisory group sessions. Smart design for less work and more joy!
