Women’s Permaculture Course  Overview

This 72 hour plus, Permaculture Design Course curriculum is based on the work of the co-originators of Permaculture Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, with insight and development from many of the Women on that first Women’s PDC, 41 years ago, and women whom came after including :

• Robin Clayfield
• Rosemary Morrow
• Robyn Francis
• Robina McCurdy
• Linda Woodrow and
• Frances Michaels alongside many more…​

Participants are required to attend all sessions of the PDC, and will be involved in interactive classroom and outdoor learning, discussions, small group activities and skills-building opportunities with practical components of the course subjects, tours site visits and more. The culmination of the course involves a group Permaculture Design Project based on a local site, to apply the learning from the past 2 weeks’ immersion.

In this Permaculture Design Course we will cover :

• DESIGN – ethics, principles, methodologies, strategies & techniques.
• PATTERNS – patterns in nature, reading landscapes & maps.
• CLIMATE – global climatic regions, influences, & suitable design techniques.
• WATER – catchment hydrology, earthworks, water cycle, storage & treatment.
