There are still places left on the PDC course starting May 7th.
(Note - This is a fantastic introduction to permaculture, living sustainably, becoming more productive and self sufficient, and gaining a good understanding of living lightly on the planet. Ongoing friendships were also a bonus outcome from last year's course.)
The Certificate course is run throughout the year, approximately monthly, one weekend day.
All up there are 12 modules, covering the following topics:, Philosophy and Design, Climate and Water, Human sphere, Community resilience, Landscape and site assessment, Large Animals and forestry, Small animals and orchards, Soils and gardening, Built environments, Energy and technology, Urban development, and the final session which is presenting the projects.
Modules will be mostly based in Hamilton, at Waimarie Community House in Hamilton East,but some will be on properties around the Waikato.
