Leeds Permaculture Design Course

We have been running the course in Leeds since 2006 and have great feedback from students, who have gone on to do impressive work at home, in their communities and on new forest gardens, farms and smallholdings.

On this course you will:

• develop your permaculture skills and understanding
• have a good overview of what permaculture is and how it is being used produce and implement a site design (e.g. for a house, garden, farm, woodland, park)
• be able to apply permaculture to your own situation eg be able to use fewer non-renewable resources recognise and develop your own skills
• work collaboratively, share ideas and know how to contribute to the wider community
• be inspired and visit great projects across Leeds and nearby
• meet new people and have some fun!

Comments from previous participants

Do it. If you’re thinking about it, do it! There is so much to be gained. Not only for yourself but for humanity and nature alike

Having a supportive learning environment that holistically encourages you to be curious, flexible, following interests whilst also being open to newness, fresh perspectives and feedback has been such a joy. Nourishing pedagogy is possible!

‘The course has genuinely been life changing. I came onto this course feeling quite sad about the world and my personal situation. I now feel really positive and optimistic that I can make a difference and change my personal path’
