Permaculture Design Course 2027

Are you interested in designing a property that works for you? Learning skills that will not only support you and your family now but into the future? Find positive solutions to the world's problems? Become part of the permaculture community? Learn from one of the best permaculture teachers in WA? Maybe you've been interested in a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) but have never had two weeks free?

Well our Permaculture Design Course (PDC) is just what you need!

If you are working or busy during the week this is the course for you. Happening only once a month for the entire year, this structure gives you time to digest the topics and work on your own design before getting into new topics.

During the course you will learn about planning for resilience and energy-efficient design, growing food the way nature does it and soil health, sustainable water management, technology use and building, as well as social permaculture and community building.

We will visit inspiring properties in the greater Perth area and explore all the aspects of permaculture incorporated at Ecoburbia.

Last but not least, you will find your tribe. Many people make long-term friends at a PDC.

This part-time course is presented by the Permaculture Educators Alliance.

What you get:

• 72 hours tuition following the guidelines as set by the Permaculture Institute of Australia

• Tours, hands on activities, printed working file

• Morning and afternoon tea
