2026 Teacher Appreciation Dinner
We like to take a moment between the end of one year’s permaculture course and the beginning of the next one to say a big THANK YOU to our community of permaculture educators. We are truly fortunate to benefit from the collective wisdom and experience represented among all these individuals. Thanks to them, our Permaculture Design Course is unlike any other out there. It leaves students not just well prepared to practice permaculture on their own, but well connected to the existing ecosystem - and as we always say, permaculture is about relationships. It’s always a pleasure when we can bring everyone together around the table to celebrate!

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.
We are open: Saturdays October 10 & 24, 10 AM to 1 PM, and Sunday October 18, 10AM-1PM — and Thursdays, October 8 through November 5, 5PM to Dusk.
