Internship

Would you like to fully immerse yourself into the practice of Permaculture?  Our internship is designed to develop your practical skills as a designer, gardener, builder, and socially responsible community member.  Interns work on various projects through out the year.  2010 projects will include: planting and guilding a multifunctional shelter belt, installing a composting toilet system, installing solar showers, planning and planting a zone 1 garden space, and much more.  Interns will receive a discount when taking our Permaculture Design Certification, and are eligible to take short skill building workshops for free.

Permaculture Design Certificate

Permaculture is a way to take the principles of intelligent design, found in nature, and apply it to absolutely everything in your life—how you get your food, water, shelter, heat, power, and dispose of waste.  Our Permaculture Design Certification course is taught using an internationally recognized curriculum developed by Bill Mollison, the chief architect of Permaculture Design. Our course is a two week in residence intensive. On successful completion of the course, you will get an internationally recognized certificate.

Introduction to Permaculture

This short course is designed as an introduction to the concepts of Permaculture.  Participants will learn how to begin applying the ethics, principles, and tools of permaculture at home and in the broader community.
