Prerequisite: Permaculture Design Course Certificate of Experience in Permaculture
This dynamic and interactive course teaches significant techniques to communicate permaculture principles and strategies in a wide variety of settings. Permaculture Teacher Training unfolds as a design methodology and advocates the Permaculture Design Course Curriculum.
We encourage and inspire your unique strengths and talents by demonstrating diverse teaching modalities such as lecture, facilitating class discussions, storytelling and use of visual aids. In this setting of active learning, you will experience essential hands-on practice by preparing and co-teaching several presentations. As a final course project, the class will present a workshop to the public.
Jude Hobbs has taught this course since 2000, and it is modeled after the advanced course in Teaching and Design she took with world-renowned permaculture instructors, Max Lindeggar and Lea Harrison in 1990. This is a Certificate Course offered by the Cascadia Permaculture Institute in collaboration with Permaculture Institute USA.
Prerequisite: Permaculture Design Course Certificate or instructor approval

All courses held at Wilson Creek Gardens. Coined a “permie wonderland” by one of our students, the multiple micro-climates nurture the soul and demonstrate an evolving living canvas of Permaculture systems being effectively woven into an existing site.
