Feedback from our PDC Course Graduates
| “I learned a TON! The information was presented at a level that everyone could understand while the more knowledgable/experienced peopole in our class were also blown away by the depth of useful content. I realize now that permaculture is about the skills needed to be a responsible human on this planet. This course was a paradigm shift for me. Thank you Bill and Becky.” (Meg Mithchell – March 2019) |
| Bill, we made a deal on 30 acres in Kentucky. So grateful for my PDC as I felt confident enough to make this leap. Got a good deal too as it is considered ‘less than desireable’ land. Not so at all. It’s perfect for a permaculture design. Finally have our own land! Jimi – 2 years following his PDC |
