Permaculture is a revolutionary design framework that applies natural patterns to human systems.  This interactive course is recommended for urban farmers, design professionals, business professionals, public employees, community organizers, homeowners, and anyone seeking a comprehensive framework & toolbox for a sustainable future.


Toby Hemenway, lead instructor, is the author of Gaia's Garden - A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture, the current best-selling permaculture book in the world.


Throughout the course, Toby will be joined by other world-class permaculture instructors, including Tom Ward, Jude Hobbs, Michael Becker, & Larry Santoyo.

The 6-month format of the permaculture design course gives you the time you need in between weekends to go deep into the course readings & materials. You also have the time & space to observe patterns in the changing seasons and work with your course design groups on a comprehensive final permaculture design project.

    Hi, I found this a little late in the year, and I'm praying that there will be a 2013 course that I can attend. Anyone have any information on that?

    Brilliant. As much as I hate interactive exercises - they were perfect - inspired the networking I'm too shy to initiate.

    Hi All, please note that when you post a comment here, it emails everyone who is RSVP'd. I think this is a great and very useful conversation, but I'd ask that it be continued on the discussion boards. Thanks!
