P.S. Gavin does a terrific job providing an overview of permaculture, but

these FREE Wednesday classes are not a substitute for the full Urban

Permaculture Design Certificate program--getting the hands-on practice, meeting

working permaculturists in class & field trips in the full program really rounds

out our experience.

 

Next Weekend Permaculture Design Certificate Course takes place on 12

consecutive Saturdays starting April 10th in Berkeley. Register before March

1st for early registration special at just $495!
