Permaculture Design Certificate Training 2017 with Madison Area Permaculture Guild
2017 Permaculture Design Certificate
We will be offering one PDC this year. It will be another modular course with three, 3-Day weekends of Fridays through Sundays. This course will be taking place out at Still Point Farm outside of Brooklyn, WI at W886 State Road 92, Brooklyn, WI. This is a 10 acre farm with a large passive solar greenhouse, beautiful workshop building, woods, and more. No camping can happen on the site, but there are plenty of nearby places to set up if need be. We encourage car pooling if possible. This is about 40 minutes out of Madison.
The PDC Training is Led by Kate Heiber-Cobb, founder and coordinator of the Madison Area Permaculture Guild, and Marian Farrior, educator and permaculturist and other area permaculturists and experts. Hands-on projects and tours are included in our learning.
TheMadison Area Permaculture Guilds PDC Modeloffers a variety of instructorsover a 72hour training.

Testimonials from our past PDC Students:
The PDC course through the MAPG has renewed my sense of hope, excitement and purpose to collectively participate in creating a healthier, more holistic and sustainable world.
This is a beautiful locally put-on PDC course and very valuable to empowering community change.
As a landscape designer with traditional horticulture training, I found many common landscape practices wasteful, in contrast to nature and downright disturbing. Learning permaculture concepts and practices has given me new enthusiasm and eagerness to help my clients create landscapes of usefulness, sustainability and beauty. A local Landscape Architect PDC student
This should be an exciting and fun experience!
