Register for our internationally recognized Permaculture Design Course, a cutting edge approach to living that creates positive impact on both the environment and the individuals sharing that environment.
This course attracts students from all over Florida and beyond. Students meet others who think like they do, and often make lifelong friendships during the course; some find new career or lifestyle opportunities. Be the change you would like to see, and be effective at it, by designing that change!

For the In-person you can miss up to 3 days of this schedule - we have online materials that will help you make up the time, but we encourage people to not miss any time as it will be rich!
