This course includes virtual learning and hands-on guided lessons from facilitators Caroline Riley, Taelor Monroe and guest lecturers. It features hands-on learning activities, including your final site design project. Each lecture will have additional readings for reflection and additional resources for personal extensions. The final design project sites are chosen from students’ properties. Each student will create a conceptual permaculture design map and choose at least one dedicated area to solidify in all of the details needed to implement.We are committed to learning real hands-on practices so that you feel confident in building a garden, growing your own food, and getting the resources together for a wide array of restorative projects. Students will finish this course with a toolbox of design techniques and strategies as well as connections with a thriving community of people who can help guide them towards new opportunities to learn, volunteer and work in various fields of interest related to sustainability.
