A wealth of information was given in ways that were interactive and easily absorbed. Feedback was welcomed and patterns were stressed over details. This empowers us when we leave to find our own permaculture niches in our respective communities.

Kristen LarkinSinger/Songwriter, Permaculture Educator

I love these people. This course was very tasty in many ways. The knowledge share of bioregions, community regeneration and plant/animal ecologies was priceless. I have tools and pathways to not only feed my family and friends, I can grow blueberries!

Cliff thank you for two awesome workshops yesterday! I learned so much and I am inspired! I am heading out to my garden right now!

Elle Preston

I like that the course (was) by people who are actually doing it, rather than being completely academic. It’s clear that the instructors have spent significant time with the material, both in study and practice.

Tandy Nicholson

I really enjoyed this class! You guys did an awesome job teaching. Your flexibility, patience and willingness to meet our needs was incredible. It made learning truly a joy. The content was amazing.

Sam Becze - PDC Student

The course has been a great mix of information, hands-on skills and design. I can design! This was a big confidence builder for me.

Joel Hughes

I took the course to give credibility to my passion for “permaculture” and as a step towards education and further direction in my career in horticulture. I feel better prepared and qualified. I enjoyed each instructor.

PDC Student

I came to Tennessee to see what they were about after Dave Jacke (author of Edible Forest Gardens) recommended them, to me, last year. Being a firm believer that one can always gain new knowledge, and being a permaculture teacher and trainer myself in other countries, I wanted to see how other people who practice permaculture and other alternative methods teach and live. I was not disappointed.
