Growing Soil, Food, and Community with Artistic Beauty
Tutors
Huckleberry Leonard, with Ginger Leonard, Brent Naylor, and other Special Guest Instructors
Our primary tutor, Huckleberry, has 30 years experience doing edible landscaping in the Pacific NW before beginning his Permacaulture study and teaching experience in NZ with some of the movement’s most significant founders and teachers over a decade ago. He’s also a master natural builder and, in addition to teaching dozens of PDC and Natural Building Courses, has mentored many individuals worldwide. Many people are eagerly awaiting his book. We’re fortunate that Huckleberry, with his wife, Ginger (whose specialty is Dirt), have returned to Grays Harbor where he was raised, to offer us hands-on application of their extensive knowledge and skills.

Description
Permaculture is an integrated land-use design methodology based on ecological principles and indigenous wisdom, with practical application from self-sufficient home/garden/paradises to ecosystem regeneration…even climate change solutions. Collectively we’re facing an uncertain future and need solutions like never before. This course is an immersion into practical approaches to teaming with Nature. Would you like to transform your home into a garden paradise? And help others too? Learn while building community.
This course takes place in a rural setting on the beautiful Satsop River the first weekend of each month (2nd in Jan), from October through May. It will be taught with an integrated, dynamic, hands-on approach, culminating in several collaborative land-use design projects.
A Permaculture Design Certificate will be issued to each participant upon completion of the course.
COURSE DATES: Oct. 1-2; Nov. 5-6; Dec. 2-3; Jan. 7-8; Feb. 4-5; Mar. 3-4; Apr. 7-8; and May 5-6, plus Special Focus Workshops
