​

Develop a sustainable landscape using permaculture methods with this online, instructor-led certificate program offered by Professional and Continuing Education at Oregon State University. Within a collaborative, academically rigorous curriculum, you will complete regenerative landscape projects with intensive instructor feedback and interaction.

Each assignment creates a new layer in the permaculture design process, culminating in a unique site design plan for residential, agricultural or other natural areas. You can use this plan at home or as a portfolio to show prospective clients.

You will engage with peers through the program’s blog, where you can receive and provide feedback and follow each project’s progress. You will learn from your peers by sharing your permaculture design plan and viewing other projects from diverse climates and environments. Previous participants hailed from places like Alaska and Laos and created design plans for sites that ranged in size from urban balconies to 100-acre ranches. .
