What better way to wind down the growing season than to embark on a permaculture design course? At P3, our facilitators emphasize that permaculture goes beyond gardening and agriculture. With permaculture we can design solutions for: food deserts, the heat-island effect, and mis-managed waste systems. With edible landscaping and ecological architecture, we can increase the efficiency of our homes, our farms, and our communities. The solutions-based vision of permaculture practice is holistic and regenerative. P3 Permaculture alum have used their PDC to start projects and businesses in permaculture consultation, education, ecological agriculture, regenerative community organizing, urban farming, composting, and much more. The PDC program helps students to closely observe the natural principles and patterns that drive ecological systems. Understanding nature and our place within it is the first step towards healing broken systems. ​ We hope that you can join us! ​Teacher: Graham Calder with guest teachers (TBA) Dates: 8 weekends (15 days) from Sept 23-Dec 9, 2017 (see below for exact dates) Location: Temps Libre, 5605 avenue de Gaspé, Suite 106 Montréal, QC H2T 2A4 Cost: $950 + tax ​
