What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is an ethically based whole-systems design approach that uses concepts, principles, and methods derived from ecosystems, indigenous peoples, and other time-tested systems to create human settlements and institutions. It’s also been called “saving the planet while throwing a better party.”
Our course includes the internationally recognized 72-hour curriculum, augmented by an additional 38-hours of hands on practice and field trips.
Upon successful completion of this course, graduates will be able to:
- Assess the sustainability of current design systems and practices;
- Define permaculture ethics and the principles of sustainability;
- Employ natural patterns as a design tool in a wide variety of contexts;
- Understand basic soil ecology and implement composting methods;
- Design simple water harvesting systems, from home to broadacre scale;
- Define and design “guilds” or constructed plant communities;
- Understand local food issues and the importance of localization;
- Translate ecological principles to a variety of social, economic, and educational settings;
- Employ best practices for starting and sustaining intentional communities and Ecovillages;
- Apply permaculture methods to educational curriculum design and the creation of school garden programs.
