 “What per­ma­cul­tur­ists are doing is the most impor­tant activ­i­ty that any group is doing on the plan­et.    We don’t know what details of a tru­ly sus­tain­able future are going to be like, but we need options, we need peo­ple exper­i­ment­ing in all kinds of ways and per­ma­cul­tur­ists are one of the crit­i­cal gangs that are doing that.” 

Dr David Suzu­ki geneti­cist and broadcaster 

 

 “You can fix all the world’s prob­lems in a garden…You can solve all your pol­lu­tion prob­lems and all your sup­ply line needs in a gar­den. And most peo­ple today don’t actu­al­ly know that and that makes most peo­ple insecure.” 

Geoff Law­ton, Per­ma­cul­ture Design­er, Teacher and Collegue

 

“The best place to seek God is in a gar­den. You can dig for Him there.”

-“The prac­ti­cal expe­ri­ence of our instruc­tion was invalu­able, along with “real world” peo­ple, projects, orga­ni­za­tions, ref­er­ence mate­r­i­al, and the great class hand­book.”                                                                                                                                                                                                      -“The diver­si­ty in the course work and the class was amaz­ing. It was jam packed and burst­ing with usable info.”

-“I feel con­fi­dent and capa­ble to make effec­tive pos­i­tive changes in my life and in my com­mu­ni­ty. I want to do what­ev­er I can to grow this knowl­edge. I have been wait­ing my whole life to be here.”

If we had­n’t tak­en this course, we would not have pur­chased our prop­er­ty. Thank you.”
