We are a women-led experiential educational space that aims to root permaculture design in principles of justice. Predominately housed in Western North Carolina, we teach resilient ecological design from a place of relationship and remembering, while honoring the land. Centering BIPOC Participation As part of our commitment to making permaculture education more accessible and reflective of the communities most impacted by land and food apartheid, we have a number of fully financially supported seats available in our upcoming fall 2026 Permaculture Design Course. The Permaculture Design Course is a five weekend in-person experience designed to lead students through a guided permaculture design process.
