Urban Farm Spring Permaculture Design Course  Due to recent events, we are postponing all in-person Permaculture events at this time and are actively moving to online formats. We hope to resume in-person events soon and will post updates as things change. The Permaculture Design Course is likely to resume in the spring of 2021, as circumstances permit. What is a Permaculture Design Course (PDC)?  It is a 72 hour deep dive introduction into permaculture.  This course is designed to give you a whole new perspective on sustainability and regenerative design.  I like to call permaculture ‘the art and science of working with nature’.
