Friends in the USA and beyond...

I've been invited to teach a PDC with Cathe' Fish, Practical Permaculture
Research Institute Oct 26-Nov 8 at Allsgood Farm, near Penn Valley
California
This course is based on the full original PDC curriculum (including topics
not covered in the PC Designers Manual) and is constantly updated with the
latest earth science, permaculture innovations and social movements. Great
PDC for permies wanting a refresher to teach - could almost call it an
Advanced PDC.
