The city, renowned for its beauty, mild Mediterranean climate and
proximity to world-class wines and food, also has a strong tradition

design principles into their practices, from psychologists and landscape
architects, to ranchers and radio show hosts.

THE
CURRICULUM
The A to Z of Sustainability! A more fun or informative course would
be hard to find. Our text book, Permaculture: A Designer's Manual,
by Bill Mollison, was once reviewed by Whole Earth saying "If
information had density... this book would be a black hole!..
The
"hands-on learning" focus of the course will be on participants'
Design Team Exercises and projects. Additional workshops will be
available for those looking to get more experience in Observation
Skills, Natural Building, Sustainable Landscape Construction, Art
in the Garden & more.
