Course Overview

Permaculture Design Certification

Winter 2026

Our PDC course for 2026 has started. If you are interested in attending next year, please get in touch via the request more info button. This is a 12 week, 72 hour course that results in a Permaculture Design Certificate. We anticipate offering it again either later in the year or early next year. Classroom sessions are 4-7 pm on Friday afternoon and field trips are 9-12 am on Saturday. Topics include Florida Geology, Water, Soil, Earthworks, Design Basics, Food Forest Design, Trees, Plants, Herbal Remedies, Beneficial Animals, and Social Permiculture. You will be expected to attend at least 80% of the sessions and present your final site design in order to receive a certificate.

Volunteer and mentoring opportunities are available throughout your experience to connect with and learn from local regenerative practitioners while contributing to a greater story of communal reciprocity in our place.
