Hey y'all,

I stumbled across this free extensive course on permaculture by Oregon state university on YouTube. Thought y'all might be interested.

Some additional information:

Required Textbook for the Course - This course requires the following accompanying textbook: Practical Permaculture: For Home Landscapes, Your Community, and the Whole Earth by Jessi Bloom and Dave Boehnlein

Those looking to register for the first online PDC of 2024 can do so here (deadline for registrations are tomorrow)

For what it's worth, I took this course some years ago now with Andrew Millison back when there was an option to audit the course. It was certainly helpful in laying out our designs for the property, though having a way to get hands on experience on a site adds an additional layer of value. After all, a design is only worth however many test pits have been dug to understand the soils you're working with.

Very interesting, would you mind also linking this in !opencourselectures@slrpnk.net as to add it there?
