Although our PDCs are also quite practical, we move through many different daily topics. This practical post-PDC course is to give you more time on different aspects of permaculture and gardening to both learn more skills and improve your skills on what you have ben introduced to on the PDC: You will get your hands dirty in the vegetable gardens, composting systems, food forests, silvopasture, appropriate technology systems, and managed woodlands on an established 18-hectare site. This course will suit you if you are thinking of applying permaculture in your own life by setting up or joining your own land-based project. It also works well for people seeking ideas, skills and inspiration to embark on a more fulfilling path in life and make positive contributions to the state of the world.
