TreeYo PDC in Slovakia, late summer

The course will be an 80-hour Permaculture Design Certificate Course spread out over 14 days. This ample time allows students to digest the material, get hands-on experience and work thoroughly on the final design project and presentation. The course will be certified through TreeYo Permacultureas we are guided by Bill Mollison’s curriculum that comprises the 14 chapters of his book “Permaculture: A Designer’s Manual”. Our schedule reflects this commitment and has a strong emphasis on how the design principles and process influence site develop and systems management while always acknowledging the people care side of it all. This course will help you gain confidence in setting up land based designs but also the inextricable link with creative integration of humans.

The HANDS-ON SEGMENT:
Another integral part of the course is the hands-on segment because it integrates the techniques directly to your body. Proposed hands-on segments for the course are:
Hot Compost Pile Making and turning throughout the course to address fertility maintenance
Small-scale Earthworks to address rainwater runoff issues and feed associated plantings
Natural Building Project on a small scale
Plant Propagation as a way to learn different techniques to quickly fill up a site with useful plants at a low cost
Food Fermentation as a way to connect food production with culture with health and season extension (and we get to eat and drink them!!!!!!)
Final Design Project for immediate application and direct practice of learned skills
