    WHY?

    We've been watching the Permaculture Design Certificate Course (PDC) get more & more expensive here in Australia whilst in other markets you can get the same course for much less. In Europe its not unusual for PDC's to be €600-700 or less & so we thought with things getting tighter here in Oceania we wanted to take the lead & offer a fair dinkum, day to a subject, fully-catered, 14 day PDC experience with one of the world's most experienced practitioners, HD's own Darren J. Doherty, for just AUD$990 (inc. GST).

    We're also going a step forward for PDC graduates. Back in the 1980's and 90's it was traditional to allow a limited number PDC graduates to attend another PDC's, typically under the proviso that they chipped in for food and contributed to the group and maybe even taught a session or two. This was to build experience and increase the capability of PDC graduates whilst also providing support to the new students. In short we're bringing back this tradition in our HD PDC, only the deal will be you just have to attend and pay half-price to cover our costs. Sor for just AUD$495 (inc. GST) you can do another full PDC with us...pretty cool huh! We can only take 10 of you so get in quick so you don't miss out!!


    Darren did his 1st PDC in 1993 for $700 and we wanted to offer a similar experience to that with camping-based accommodation and field-based practical & theory in a Permaculture-designed landscape with many examples all over the place. Every day this program will have you doing a practical exercise based around the subject of the day, all building realknowledge & experience, all because what you know you will not forget
    The HD PDC follows a day to a subject program based around Permaculture: A Designer's Manual (Mollison) in the following order:

    Day 1 – Introduction
    Day 2 – Concepts & Themes in Design
    Day 3 – Methods of Design
    Day 4 – Pattern Understanding
    Day 5 – Climatic Factors
    Day 6 – Trees & Their Energy Transactions
    Day 7 – Soils
    Day 8 – Water
    Day 9 – Earthworks & Earth Resources
    Day 10 – Aquaculture
    Day 11 - Strategies for An Alternative Nation
