What Will You Get Out Of This Course?
Develop a strategy that works in YOUR specific situation
We've applied the design framework that we'll teach you in over 9 countries. The core principles that you'll learn are applicable to all contexts and climates, but we'll focus on how to develop the strategies that best fit your needs. By the end of the course, you'll know what are the key elements and how to implement them to successfully transform your backyard, balcony or farm into a thriving ecosystem.
Learn a structured step-by-step process and feel in control
We designed this course as a step-by-step process so that even someone who has no experience in gardening would be equipped to transform their outdoor space. You'll be able to design your garden from A to Z. Together, we'll help you visualize your current situation and how to identify your key assets and opportunities. From there we'll cover the strategies for selecting the best plants for the soil conditions for your garden. Space is always an issue, so we'll also cover how to maximize yours to obtain the most sustainable yield. Not only that, but you'll learn how to avoid pest problems and build natural fertility in a completely ecological way.
Learn hands-on skills and techniques to apply immediately
Once you understand the basic parameters of ecological gardening; we'll show you the building blocks of how to get to done, with specific tools and techniques that you can expand upon long after the end of the course. This is the fun part where you'll see everything come together as you set-up your own compost or vermicompost, lasagna garden beds and more. By working with natural cycles and systems you'll be able to manage your own water and have control over problems like pests.
Save time and money by avoiding the mistakes that we've made ourselves
Graham has more than 10 years of experience transforming 100 acre farms, as well as small balconies into beyond sustainable ecosystems. Over this period, he's learned a lot from his mistakes, and he'll teach you what to avoid and make sure you move faster towards achieving your goals.
Stop putting out fires in your garden by addressing the root cause of the problem
Stop running behind problems and applying bandages on issues like pests, too much or too little water or compacted and infertile soil. This can be avoided by learning the ecosystem of your garden and how the different elements interact with each other. Only by taking a step back from the situation, can you understand the underlying problems in your garden and know what solutions need to be applied. No more guesswork!

I took the P3 course in 2016. I found it very interesting and eye opening. I was also impressed with the passion that Graham had for permaculture and his willingness to share his knowledge. I since retired from the rat race and bought an 8 acre property in New Brunswick with a river in the backyard. Now I can finally concentrate on playing with my permaculture design knowledge. Happy Anniversary P3, keep up the excellent work, the world need it desperately!

I would like to give a HUGE thank-you to Graham Calder of P3 Permaculture! I feel the PDC was a first step into a new and better life. The true knowledge that was shared was nothing less than jaw dropping, mind blowing, eye opening and is so very very important to know. Graham is the kind of teacher we need to truly evolve into what we are meant to be. I would recommend the PDC to EVERYONE , as you can apply the principles learned to every aspect of your life. I certainly will be trying.
