This internationally respected Permaculture Design Certification Course developed by Grow Permaculture™ is focused on providing tools to create a regenerative life through the basics of food, shelter, energy, water, health, nature, and community. It is a mixture of theory, hands-on application, and group activities. The course will address strategies and techniques for both urban and rural areas in different climates and circumstances. Upon completion, participants will receive an internationally recognized Permaculture Design Certification.

The training is designed for participants of all skill levels. We will offer written materials and study aids and exercises before the course and urge students to use them, as you will get much more out of the course.

Pendle Hill is a 24 acre Quaker study, retreat, and conference center welcoming all located in Wallingford, Pennsylvania. Our half-acre garden provides vegetables, fruit, and herbs to the Pendle Hill kitchen.
