The GrowHaus is excited to announce Denver's third annual Permaculture Design Course, a comprehensive 72-hour training in the ecological paradigm. Permaculture is a revolutionary design science that applies nature’s patterns to human structures, and the Permaculture Design Course has trained thousands of changemakers in its theory and practice.
The Denver PDC will be held the first weekend of every month starting in October 2013, and wrapping up in March 2014. Most weekends for the course will be located at The GrowHaus, a cutting-edge permaculture demonstration facility off I-70 and York in Denver. The first weekend of the course will be a retreat held at Woodbine Ecology Center, a permaculture organization just outside the Denver area. There will be optional field trips to demonstration sites throughout the Front Range between each class.
