  • want to use regenerative design to overhaul their land base or business  

 The program will run on two days a week (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) from 9am to 2.00pm each day. There will be a combination of hands-on work and theory sessions at the City Farm, and site visits to farms and other sites in the region.  A full Permaculture Teacher Training course will be included. 

During this 12-month program you will receive training & courses that include: 

  • A deeper understanding of Permaculture Ethics & Design Principles 
  • Intensive annual & perennial production 
  • Agroforestry systems 
  • Design and computer aided design, & redesign 
  • Planning (lots of planning)

You will have the opportunity to work alongside staff, volunteers, and professionals to observe and learn from them. You will also have the opportunity to work on one or more complex personal design projects, with regular feedback from educators and designers. You are encouraged to keep a Learning Journal to build a portfolio and to make the most of this unique training.  

We believe this is a unique opportunity and learning experience, with targeted learning and intensive hands-on experience implementing diverse systems.    

Our educational objective is to support more people to start regenerative-based enterprises, farms & projects and support upcoming designers wanting to work professionally. So come learn to make it real.
