A PDC Certificate Is Not A Guarantee of Competence

Most Permaculture Design Courses give you a mountain of theory and then leave you alone to climb it. You get your certificate, but you lack the real-world confidence to tackle a complex project.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You feel overwhelmed trying to apply textbook designs to your unique, challenging landscape.

  • You're paralyzed by uncertainty, terrified of making a costly mistake with earthworks or planting a food forest in the wrong place.

  • You're drowning in information, lost in the YouTube rabbit hole of conflicting advice with no clear path forward.

  • You're working in isolation, with no one to turn to for expert feedback when you hit an inevitable roadblock.

Finishing a standard PDC is just the beginning. The real challenge is bridging the gap between knowledge and competent, real-world action.

Graham Calder Teaching with hands in the dirt in mexico

Graham Calder

Founder & Chief Designer, P3 Permaculture

Graham a plus de 16 ans d'expérience dans l'enseignement de la permaculture et de la conception écologique. En 2009, il a obtenu son baccalauréat en études environnementales et écologiques à l'Université Concordia (Montréal, QC).

Insatisfait de l'approche environnementaliste traditionnelle et de sa capacité à relever les défis de notre époque, il s'est tourné vers la permaculture. La même année, il a obtenu son Certificat en Conception Permaculturelle (PDC) de Jesse Lemieux à Pacific Permaculture. Par la suite, il est devenu apprenti auprès de l'une des grandes figures du domaine, Geoff Lawton, à l'Institut de Permaculture d'Australie (PRI).

Il a fondé P3 Permaculture en octobre 2009 et enseigne et conseille depuis lors dans le but de rendre la permaculture accessible à tous. À ce jour, Graham a certifié plus de 375 étudiants en conception permaculturelle et a offert des services de conception dans plus de 9 pays à travers le monde : des jardins urbains à Montréal, aux 7000 hectares dans les déserts du Gansu en Chine, en passant par les forêts tropicales du Costa Rica et du Cameroun.

He is dedicated to creating new courses and projects that will inspire and facilitate the transition to regenerative solutions for our society.

Ociane 2021 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This course is fantastic! I loved learning from Graham, who shared his in-depth permaculture knowledge with passion to our class. ... It was wonderful to meet with a class of people of so many different ages and backgrounds, all sharing an interest in Permaculture. Graham nurtured a positive and supportive atmosphere in the class. We shared knowledge, ressources and were at ease to ask as many questions as we might have, even if that occasionally brought the conversation on a tangent! ... thankfully, I was able to access all of Graham’s videos, including an abundance of carefully selected resources. It had been so great, being able to review all the material before I finish my course project. While reviewing, I appreciated the clear structure of the course, the detailed videos, and all the supportive documents and resources. I can see all the work, time, effort and passion that was put into this: bravo!

Stéphanie Vandelac ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am currently doing the PDC and it really fills that need for purpose I feel inside me and gives me hope to share with my kids. Permaculture should be taught already in primary school everywhere in the world. Delighted to be part of this movement for change

Ashley Nelson 2017 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This PDC felt like a breath of fresh air for the soul. I can't imagine anyone not appreciating this course.

Charles Molier2023 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I took the permaculture course with P3 in 2023 and I loved my experience. Graham is an excellent teacher who knows how to communicate his passion and, most importantly, his knowledge! The course is very well-structured with a wealth of content. The online prerequisites are very professional! I was happy to be able to take part in this in-person training after a few years of being quite isolated. I highly recommend it for Graham's experience and for the theoretical and practical learning that has changed my perspective on farming.

portrait of a student5

Clementine Mattesco 2017 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This course changed my life forever and gave me the confidence, the energy, the tools and the support to realize that I can contribute to move our society in the right direction. I completed the course at the same time as being a full-time university student and I can tell you I was waiting for the 2 lecture days every week. (the PDC) was my break from the everyday life rush, the moment I could recharge the batteries and refill myself with positive energy. Thank you to my amazing teachers, Graham, Cara and Antonius and thank you to the amazing people I met during this course, you made this experience truly wonderful!
