For those who want to learn about Permaculture there's a lot of information out there, and it's growing. For those who want to experience it, to evolve in its embrace, to become so richly empowered that manifesting it is essentially effortless, no one in Arizona teaches Permaculture like Don Titmus. If you're ready to grow from the inside out, this is the best place to start!

Greetings Permee Fans:
This course is awesome. I took this same course with Don Titmus last fall. Don has many years of in-depth knowledge and experience in the field. The course is challenging, and fun. You will obtain the tools and skills to move forward in what ever level you find yourself. Many people of all levels have taken the course; from the curious minded who wants to just step it up within their of homestead, or the simple backyard gardener, to the ones who want to build an Intentional Community (yet feel as though something is missing?), or Landscapers who want the extra knowledge to grasp a hold of this quickly blooming business, with all you need to know.... permaculture design principles. So, whether you are a backyard gardener or a business owner who is looking for the next gold rush, so to speak; this course is for almost anyone. Now's the time to jump aboard, save a few bucks and get that earlier bird special.
Sign up now, before July 30th and save $100. Alright, I'm excited, see you all there!!!

This is a great course to take whatever your interest level. Don's course is tailored to be comprehensive and easily absorbed and offers hands on opportunities to put practice and principles in place. I recommend this course to anyone who is interested in incorporating permaculture in their life.

This is a great PDC! Don weaves the Permaculture principles throughout the course. And there are yummy pot-luck lunches too!
I attended the Spring 2008 PDC facilitated by Don Titmus and have been co-teaching the water harvesting segment with Don since 2009. I can truly say taking the PDC changed my life.
