Summer Weekend Permaculture Design Course
Cincinnati Permaculture Institute takes its internationally recognized Permaculture Design Course on the road for our most condensed format yet, a great overview of permaculture for people eager to get started right away.
This year, we have partnered with Nightingale Montessori in Springfield, OH to offer this three-weekend course in July. The course entails 60 hours of direct instruction and 12 hours of supplemental material & independent work.
CPI Lead Teachers team up with our site hosts and guest speakers to cover the essentials of permaculture. Students will also spend time together working as a team on a design project, using the design process we’ve outlined and applying their newfound ecological wisdom to create sustainable systems.
COURSE FORMAT: 72-hour training over three weekends: July 10/11, 17/18, and 25/26
Fridays (7/10, 7/17, 7/24): 4 hr online lecture/discussion sessions (4:00PM – 8:00PM)
Saturdays (7/11, 7/18, 7/25) & Sundays (7/12, 7/19, 7/26): 8 hrs on-site lecture, discussions and work-learn interactivity at Nightingale and nearby sites (9:00AM – 6:00PM)
