Advanced Permaculture Design Course

Course textbook Edible Forest Gardens by David Jacke. This is an in-depth course on ecological garden design. Forest gardening is an ancient practice, yet also represents a radically new, postmodern way of seeing our home landscapes and our world. Taking nature as a model we can grow many different useful plants together in mutually beneficial groupings that are largely self-maintaing. Plants with edible, medicinal, and other useful qualities can combine to supply our daily needs, just as we support theirs. We will explore the design continuum from urban renter’s container garden, backyard garden, homestead garden and also a farm scale. A Permaculture Design Certificate is required to take this course.  by Chuck Burr and Larry Korn, visit www.sopermaculture.org  or call 541 941-9711.
