Welcome to The Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute, a high altitude demonstration forest garden and training facility located 7200’ above sea level in beautiful Basalt, Colorado. CRMPI has been offering annual Permaculture design classes for 23 years and is one of the oldest continually operating Permaculture facilities in the United States. In addition to Permaculture design training, we also offer hands-on demonstration site tours, an on-site edible landscaping nursery and high altitude forest gardening workshops.
