Course Description
Do you want more in-depth information about how to apply the permaculture principles? Do you want to learn more about permaculture design processes? Do you want a deeper understanding of how to use design tools? Then this is the course for you. Maybe you attended your full PDC a few years ago. Maybe you don't feel confident with pattern application, presenting designs, using design tools or designing in groups. Maybe you want to refresh your skills after a break. Whatever the reason, Joe and Hannah have designed a course which will bridge any gap you feel there might be that could be stopping you from using your permaculture design skills.
