Thanks for the link!
I have had quite a bit of private email asking
about the certification nomenclature. What I
meant was that I submitted the design as the final
requirement for completing the online permaculture
design course with Barking Frogs Permaculture, by
which I earn a certificate of completion and
"status" (if that is the right word) as an
apprentice permaculturist.
