OUR PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE
This unique course, delivered over 12 Saturdays in Brisbane, gives you the knowledge and skills to observe and design from natural patterns to create productive gardens and properties. You will learn how to grow your own food, apply appropriate technologies, use resources wisely, build on living systems and rebuild communities. Learn to build resilience through connectivity, facilitate regeneration of the earth and create abundance through design
This course runs on Saturdays, 8.30am to 4.30pm, from 1st March until 31 May 2025. There are two Saturdays off (19 April and 24 May), with the latter one being for students to work on their final design project.
The Permaculture Design Course (PDC) builds from its foundation in ethics and design principles to develop strategies giving you the techniques and tools to inspire critical thinking.
Our skilled educators will give you the attention you need with more time for questions and conversations. We will dive deep into our subjects and have time to discuss your personal projects.
