We regret to inform you that we have decided to cancel the March-May 2016 PDC.
We didn’t have enough students to make it a go financially.

We still want to run the course this summer at a venue just north of Seattle.
We have not made a decision whether this would be a:
A two week residential pdc or
 6 weekends over 3 months format
 6-month, one weekend a month PDC.
 
If you are interested in this PDC let us know which format you would prefer.
We will make up a plan once we get some feedback from prospective students
 
Permaculture is far more than gardening and farming.  It is applicable to all parts of life and all parts of the economy.  We really encourage you to explore the permaculture path throughout your life.
