This September we are hosting our next Permaculture Design Course (PDC) in Kenya (postponed from July).
Permaculture offers practical skills and methods for designing and creating sustainable living systems, integrating human needs with the ecosystems in which we are rooted.
The course will give you a solid introduction to permaculture covering ethical and ecological principles as well as provide you with practical enactment of the design process.
