techniques.  By considering Whole Systems Design, the workshop will  
focus on examples of how to evolve efficient, bountiful and beautiful  
environments.  Lecture, group discussions, slide shows, hands-on  
activities and networking are used to present permaculture design

planting trees, shrubs, vines, vegetables, flowers and medicinal and  
culinary herbs that work together, we will establish a diverse  
perennial polyculture.  This workshop is applicable for the homeowner

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.
