As of January 10, the spring Permaculture Design Course is cancelled. More than 30 people asked for info and registration forms but only 8 were registered by the deadline, one month before the start of the course. We did not have enough registrants to pay for course expenses.

We recognise the time commitment- five full weekends over a two month period- is a lot. So the teaching team plans to schedule a menu of one day classes and workshops to address requests of many people who shared comments about that.

The nine day, 72 hour certified course schedule allows for some breaks in between.

The course curriculum includes: Introduction to Place, People and Permaculture; Local Ecosystem, Site Analysis, Story of Place; Visioning, Conceptual Planning, Design Strategies; Zonation and Pattern Language; Active and Passive Waterharvesting, Planting Guilds; Solar Design and Natural Building; Social Permaculture, Community Design and Neighborhood Permaculture

Class size will be smaller this year to assure optimal learning and group participation: if you are wanting to assure your place, email barbara at beantreefarm@gmail.com to register prior to payment.

The Paypal button below is ready for payment after your registration forms for the course are complete, or to add to the scholarship fund, or donate to Sonoran Permaculture.

THANKS!
