Go From Permaculture Student To Master Designer In One Year
Stop guessing. Gain the confidence to design and build a resilient, productive legacy system — with a clear choice between scarce Legacy Design Mentorship and accessible PDC Essential.
- Mentorship: ~5 spots / year, full stack + 1-on-1
- Essential: $1,022 CAD tax in (or 6×$200) — never discounted
- Same P3 expertise. Two levels of support.
A PDC Certificate Is Not a Guarantee of Competence
Most design courses hand you theory, then leave you alone. You get a certificate but lack real-world confidence for a complex project.
- Trying to force textbook designs onto your unique landscape
- Fear of costly mistakes with earthworks or food forest placement
- Lost in conflicting YouTube advice with no clear path
- No expert to call when you hit a roadblock
Finishing a standard PDC is just the beginning. The real challenge is bridging knowledge to competent action.
What If You Had a World-Class Expert as Your Guide?
Imagine knowing every hour and dollar moves the right way. Imagine answers for your property in days, not months of searching.
The Legacy Design Mentorship combines a complete PDC education with close personal mentorship. PDC Essential is the self-paced path when you want the core curriculum without the high-touch container.

Graham (founder of P3) is one of those exceptional students you remember because you know they are going to go a long way... I can confidently recommend his work as quite a remarkable permaculture teacher, designer, consultant and practitioner.
