Join our stellar team of permaculture designers and instructors - who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to their teaching - for this two-week intensive design course. This course offers an intensive format for those who want to get their certification quickly and be immersed completely in the permaculture experience during a residential program.

In this course, you will observe and use the same principles that make ecological systems self-sustaining, and learn how to apply them to integrate homes and gardens. In addition, you will learn how to apply these principles to energy systems, water supplies, healthy communities, meaningful and fulfilling work, ecological economies and global political movements.
