Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people, providing their food, energy, shelter and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable and ethical way.

All class curriculum is based upon permaculture design principles and practices. The curriculum has been tailored to focus on urban environments in the Midwest.

Upon completion of all classes in the series, you will be given a Permaculture Design Certificate. This internationally recognized certificate indicates that you have learned the skills needed to create vibrant, resilient landscapes that model healthy ecosystems.
