The first 6.5 week long course and provides an opportunity for you to

build your knowledge about permaculture and ecological design.

Participants will explore the content through videos, readings, and

activities and complete portions of a design for a site of their choosing.

While the course is online, the format is designed for consistent

interaction between instructors and students through forums and review of

assignments. Readings and presentations will be directly applied through

hands-on activities students will engage with at home.

Completion of a single class gives students a certificate of completion

from the Horticulture and continuing education units.

apply for an internationally recognized Permaculture Design Certificate

though the Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute
