Permaculture Design Course (PDC) - Saturday

For the first time, Anna's Tuin & Ruigte will host the internationally certified Permaculture Design Course (PDC). During this 12-day course (72 hours), you will learn about the permaculture design system and be given many tools to design, start and maintain your own projects.

Using permaculture, you can create sustainable environments. The design system is based on patterns and relationships in nature and is applicable in all kinds of areas: from food production in kitchen gardens and food forests, to building and the economy.

During the course, we share a lot of knowledge on different topics, such as setting up a food forest and energy-efficient building. You learn to observe and analyse your surroundings, we take a look at different green projects in the area and we get to work practically in Anna's Tuin. You collaborate on the group design assignment and also make an individual final design.

On cold days, classes take place in an indoor space and in warm weather classes are in Anna's Tuin & Ruigte. Anna's Tuin is a social and educational project with a vegetable garden, food forest, paint garden, bee & butterfly garden and a large area of rough terrain. It is a great example of permaculture in practice and an inspiring place to learn.
