Experts in food forestry, green building, alternative energy, financial permaculture, sustainable community building and more will show you how to design every aspect of your life to live more sustainably and achieve a higher quality of life. Main instructors are Cory Brennan and Ken Benway. List of guest instructors will be provided shortly.
This course is very interactive with community building occurring from the first day, based on surveys of what our students want and creation of a number of successful community projects.
Graduates will complete a professional permaculture design in teams, with mentoring, and will receive a professional certificate upon completion of the course requirements.
The course will be taught over six weekends at various “green” locations in the Tampa Bay area. Information will be interspersed liberally with hands on projects, community building and networking and field trips.
We are applying for college credits for the course and expect to have a course number shortly – credits will be accepted at any Florida University.
In conjunction with the Tampabay Urban Permaculture Design Course, we will also offer a number of other programs including weekend workshops covering specific skill sets and film showings.
In addition, we offer after course mentoring, career counseling, and network support (see our “Grads in Action” for some examples). Though many students simply want the knowledge to apply to their own homes and neighborhoods, a number of our students are making money using permaculture design and we support and facilitate that in whatever way we can do so.
