22nd Annual Permaculture Design Certification Course

With Peter Bane, Jerome Osentowski, Becky Elder, Travis Beck and Others

September 22nd through October 3rd

Course Overview: The CRMPI Permaculture Design Certification Course provides participants with an understanding of the essential principles and elements of permaculture, enabling them to better design and engineer sustainable systems including forest gardens, appropriate buildings, greenhouses, and more. During the first week we'll cover the essential elements of permaculture, followed in the second week by a full-spectrum design project. The curriculum includes a variety of classes and workshops essential to every permaculturist's development: from soil structure to the invisible structures of our economy and society.
