Permaculture Courses
The PRI is renowned for producing highly active and effective students and teachers. Through the initial establishment of Permaculture by Bill Mollison the Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) is a pre-requisite to obtaining your Diploma through the Permaculture Institute.
As part of our PDC students are invited to bring details of their own property, potential property... etc., to design a site-specific Permaculture system.
Alternative Location: If northern NSW is not convenient for you, be aware we're now also running courses at Mulloon Creek Natural Farms near Canberra. Read about this here. A full course list on the MCNF website is here.
