This course will teach you how to create a full permaculture design for any property.
It is ideal for anyone who wants to develop a sustainable project—farm, garden, homestead, or land—but doesn’t know how to begin, what steps to follow, or how to make all the elements work together.
The course runs over two days:
Day 1 – Theory & Foundations
We explore the core concepts of permaculture design: ethics, principles, zones, sectors, water cycles, microclimates, soil basics, and system integration.
Day 2 – Practical Design Work
You’ll receive graph paper, ruler, and drawing tools to create a full permaculture design of a real area of our farm.
Cristiano will guide you through every phase, helping you understand solutions to common challenges and how to adapt designs to different environments.
