"Bill, I am teaching backyard chicken classes all over the city. (I want to move into quail next.) I think of my PDC course very fondly and use my permaculture 'sense' for all types of projects. Thank you for continuing to put permaculture into the hands and minds of others."

Join me as I make my way around S.E. Michigan for a 4-day speaking tour. Included are pictures from several WalkAbouts we did as well as some great photos and ideas for implementing permaculture in one's own backyard or community... Bill Wilson
This picture summary takes the viewer through our first 4-day training of this nature. This intensive was designed to give the suburban and urban dweller the essential permaculture tools they might need to get started in their own back yards, apartments and community.
This picture summary takes the viewer through one of our 8-day courses which includes a look at the sustainably-oriented community of Stelle, IL, two permaculture suburban homes, and at several permaculture sites found within the city limits of Chicago, IL.
View permaculture pictures of a small farm that made $25,000 by harvesting the wild plants around them, a greenhouse operation that raises hundreds of pounds of tilapia fish, and a couple of suburban permaculture homes.
One of our webinar students decided to take her full design course from Bill and Geoff. View her email and photos as she works her way through a two week design course delivered by the very man who originated the concept of 'permaculture'.
Continuing Support Following PDC Graduation Students who have completed a Midwest Permaculture design course are then invited to become part of our growing network of graduates. There are three ways we attempt to support our students:
We have a separate networking website where all graduates can connect, share ideas and look for some assistance.
We hosted occasional reunions for graduates and their families .
Graduates may audit any future 72-hour certification courses at half price (provided space is available).
Our objective is to support our students for as long as they need it or want it, and to encourage them to support each other.
Already A Permaculture Design Course Graduate?
We offer a 33% discount to students who have already graduated from another recognized course (from anywhere in the world) who wish to take a Midwest Permaculture course as a refresher. Please email for details.
