November 2012 PDC

The 2012 residential PDC will run from Saturday 17th November until Saturday 1st of December.

Our ever popular Central Victorian PDC is back!

As usual we have an excellent range of experienced and enthusiastic tutors teaching the full PDC curriculum. For many participants, a highlight of this PDC is the sessions with David Holmgren, the cooriginator of the permaculture concept.

There is more information on our fieldtrips and tutors see our fieldtrips and tutors pages.
