The Permaculture Design Certificate program is an ethically-based, hands-on training that empowers participants to create sustainable human communities. Offered in partnership with the Shenandoah Permaculture Institute, this program explores permaculture principles rooted in agriculture while integrating elements of regional planning, ecology, architecture, and international development.
Through 72 hours of workshops held over four weekends, participants will engage in field trips, collaborative design projects, and practical activities that focus on ethics, design and sustainability. Modules cover key topics such as regenerative agriculture and gardening, plant selection and care, water conservation, soil management and applied permaculture. Event Details
