Congratulations to our 2023-2024 Yearlong Graduates!
We couldn’t be prouder of our newest cohort of designers! For the last 12 months, these students have been traveling around the Cincinnati area visiting working farms and homesteads, learning from experienced teachers and guest speakers, and working together on their first designs incorporating the principles of permaculture. We look forward to their next steps and opportunities to use these skills, talents, and passions.

This rare selection has been curated over the years to include the varieties and species that perform well in our local bio-region and includes many edibles that are hard to find at traditional nurseries and garden centers.
