SUMMARY:Southern BC : Permaculture Design Course
DESCRIPTION:A short ferry from Vancouver in the tiny village of Robert
 s Creek comes a unique, low-cost, flexibly scheduled Permaculture Desi
 gn Course. Meeting once a month over fourteen months in locations on t
 he Sunshine Coast and Greater Vancouver area, the class caters anyone 
 who wants to learn permaculture but cannot afford the cost or intensiv
 e time commitment of other courses including lower-income families, st
 udents, youth and people for who are called permaculture but have been
  struggling to find a course that fits their life.\nJoin this adventur
 e in learning as it journeys to eco-locations like the Heart Gardens, 
 UBC Farm, The Frogs Hollow, Rolling Earth, Country Haven, Strathcona a
 nd Cottonwood Gardens, Compost Education Center, Loutet Farm, Sole Foo
 d, Old Growth Forest sites and the properties of students who want to 
 host. \nThe course is very flexible with busy lives and organized mod
 ularly. If you miss a class you can jump in on the the same module in 
 a different class at no extra cost. I am running two courses concurren
 tly to allow for even more flowing make up classes. A monday class sta
 rts in May and a tuesday group starts in June.\nhere are more details.
