Practical Skills for Regenerative Living
Empowerment & Practical Skills
A PDC gives you hands-on tools to design resilient gardens, farms, and communities. You’ll learn water harvesting, soil building, food forests, natural building, and other practical skills that make you more self-reliant and capable of creating abundance.
Regenerative Design
Beyond gardening, permaculture teaches you how to see connections—between people, land, water, energy and community. This mindset offers solutions that regenerate rather than deplete, making your work more sustainable in any field of life.
Community & Global Relevance
Taking a PDC connects you with a worldwide network of like-minded people working toward a healthier planet. You’ll not only grow your personal skills but also contribute to the collective effort of creating resilient communities in the face of ecological and social challenges.
By the end of our 3 month course, NoCo PDC participants will have a completed design portfolio (individual or group), a solid foundation in permaculture principles & practices, hands-on skills + confidence to apply permaculture in their lives and communities, and a Permaculture Design Certificate (recognized internationally).
NoCo PDC is $1,800 per person for 18 sessions / 111 hours total.
