This video shows how Geoff Lawton designed his own property (before Zaytuna) and there is a free PDF to download as well.

I've watched all of his videos and they are truly inspirational.

He's currently putting out free ones - I'm sweating on the next one which is called "Urban permaculture - the micro space" and he released a trailer just to tease us........

I just got home and saw that I had the email for "Urban Permaculture". I will probably enjoy it with morning coffee.

At the end of this latest video he announces that he is about to launch an online PDC course. I would love to do it but I'm not sure I could afford it. I was looking at some of his residential courses and they run in the $2500au range. He is sending out an email on Friday with all the details of the course, so I'll have to wait and see.

I need to watch these newer releases. I've absolutely loved every thing of his I've seen. Thanks Boo.

I was reading something recently that was talking about changing the way PDC classes are done, at least in some places. Midwest Permaculture in Illinois is apparently offering a program where the advance work is done by computer or textbook, long before the 5 day or so "hands on" classroom training.
I'm thinking about it. Thinking about it very much, in fact.

He has a wonderful approach to educating people - he is easy to follow, easy to understand and he takes the "technical details" and explains them in laymans terms - I agree that if you were wanting to learn permaculture that he is the one to go to (damn and blast, and I thought I was being clever by pre-paying a PDC course locally

)
