One of our webinar students decided to take her full design course from Bill and Geoff. View her email and photos as she works her way through a two week design course delivered by the very man who originated the concept of 'permaculture'.
Continuing Support Following Graduation Students who have completed a Midwest Permaculture design course are then invited to become part of our growing network of graduates. There are three ways we attempt to support our students:
We have a separate website where all graduates can connect, share ideas and look for some assistance.
Graduates may audit any future 72-hour certification courses at half price (provided space is available).
Our objective is to support our students for as long as they need it or want it, and to encourage them to support each other.
Already A Permaculture Design Course Graduate?
We offer a 33% discount to students who have already graduated from another recognized course (from anywhere in the world) who wish to take a Midwest Permaculture course as a refresher. Please email for details.
