Urban Permaculture Design Intensive - Oregon and California
"My experience in the course was invaluable. I find myself with a
new permaculture lens that I can put on at will, and see the world
around me in a way that I feel leads to making more conscious
decisions and living better in harmony with the earth."
- Deborah F., Common Circle Education Permaculture Graduate

You'll learn how to create sustainable, thriving human systems,
from green houses and organic gardens, to local micro-economies
and communities, using sustainable design principles that are
applicable to every human system, from businesses, communities,
and cities to personal relationships.
Our courses focus heavily on suburban and urban solutions --
this is an important distinction from virtually most other
courses which are largely rural and agricultural-focused.
With over 50% of the world's population in cities, we must
meet people where they live with real sustainable solutions.
