A rare opportunity to study with masters of the trade

The Permaculture
Design Certification
Course

with Andrew Faust & Larry Santoyo

“Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.”

If you’re concerned about the future of our food, forests, water, climate and communities, this six-part series offers practical tools and an empowering path forward.

Through the principles of Permaculture Design, we’ll explore how to work with nature, restore soils and watershed health, grow abundant food, and create systems that help build resilient communities.

Come learn, connect, gain practical tools, and discover what you can do to create positive change — right where you live.
