The 2013 Permaculture Design Course: Drylands (PDC), offered by the Valley Permaculture Alliance (VPA), teaches an approach that will provide you the skills to observe your world, garden, home, and life with a fresh and new perspective. Permaculture is a holistic approach to life that can benefit you both personally and professionally.
Early registration deadline: December 20, 2012
The PDC is a comprehensive program designed for anyone wanting to learn the principles in applying nature awareness, energy systems, water supplies and so much more to desert home landscapes, gardens, and communities. This year, unique to all previously taught VPA PDC programs, you can take as few sessions as you like, or all 12 sessions earning you the PDC Certification—the choice is yours.
The VPA is bringing in locally known and nationally recognized experts to present and demonstrate real-world examples of permaculture principles and how to apply them to your life. This is an opportunity to meet and learn from highly respected instructors from the global stage, plus local teachers that possess first-hand experience of our unique area.
All dates and topics are now open for registration with a limited-time early-bird discount. Those who take all ten January–May classes will be enrolled in two additional classes in June specific to the Permaculture Design Project.
