Sustainable Design Certificate Program in Urban Permaculture

[Guest guest]

" My experience in the course was invaluable. I find myself with a

new permaculture lens that I can put on at will, and see the world

around me in a way that I feel leads to making more conscious

decisions and living better in harmony with the earth. "

- Deborah F., Course Graduate

This course will combine critical design skills with leadership,

nature connection, and most importantly an urban focus. This

course builds upon the internationally-recognized Permaculture

Design Certification curriculum.

You'll learn how to create sustainable, thriving human systems,

from green houses and organic gardens, to local micro-economies

and communities, using sustainable design principles that are

applicable to every human system, from businesses, communities,

and cities to personal relationships.

Because of our unique focus on Urban and Suburban solutions,

our courses are radically different from most other programs,

teaching permaculture as a design science rooted in nature.

With over 50% of the world's population in cities, we must

meet people where they live with real sustainable solutions.
