Learn Permaculture from an International Author - Toby Hemenway

This is too exciting to keep to myself.  When I took the Permaculture Design course three years ago it completely changed the way I look at everything, for my gardens to the way I lived my life.

Now Phoenix is fortunate to have an international author, teacher and expert on Permaculture bring a 5 month weekend course here!


SPRING 2011 PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE WITH TOBY HEMENWAY –
 ONLY ONE WEEK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT!


Reserve your spot now for the Spring 2011 Permaculture Design Certification Course (PDC) with Toby Hemenway, internationally recognized Permaculture instructor and author of the best-selling Gaia’s Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture.

“Sustainability continues to grow in popularity throughout the world. It will continue to be a burgeoning industry with great career potential as resources and energy become ever more scarce and expensive.” Environmental Jobs: Green Jobs in Sustainable Development.

Who takes this course?

Homeowners, farmers, and gardeners large and small learn to increase the value and productivity of their property, and to create home and land environments that better support their own needs as well as nature’s…in a much less costly way.

Teachers learn to integrate permaculture design into their curriculum in ways that have been proven to raise student performance.

Real estate and development companies are able to better address the public's growing concern for the environment and to reduce resource use and impacts.

Planners and public officials find holistic solutions to land-use and resource issues, and will identify and solve bottlenecks and impediments to implementing their programs.

Design professionals can add new qualifications to their resumes and offer improved services to their clients. Their designs tend to use fewer resources, work more efficiently, and are easier to maintain.

Entrepreneurs as well as job-seekers will find that a prime emphasis of this course is on earning a livelihood using the skills acquired in the course, reducing the need to spend, and developing holistic business and planning skills.

Wherever your interest in sustainability lies, be it the home garden, a home business, or for career enhancement, this course will be a transformative educational experience for you. You can be part of creating a sustainable future!
