Permaculture Design Certificate

2nd – 11th August 2019

This is an all-round benchmark course in sustainability that takes a systems-view of ecological design and focuses on regenerative culture.

The principles and perspective of permaculture provides a lens and context for virtually any project or product. Although often thought of as a tool to run a homestead or grow food, permaculture, like the movements we’re still seeing emerge today, came as a response to the challenges we are still facing today. Cloughjordan Ecovillage was designed with this systems-approach of permaculture and provides a unique environment for place-based learning.
