A FEW Words About Us
WELCOME TO THREE ACRE PERMACULTURE
From our very first Three Acre Permaculture Design Certificate in 2019, we’ve been proud to welcome students safely and conscientiously to this space.
People come from all over Ontario to learn about permaculture, get their hands in the earth, and reconnect to themselves, the land, and each other.
As we’ve grown, we’ve been able to offer not only the Design Certificate based on the International PDC curriculum but also hands-on and interactive gardening courses, seed swaps, nursery products, and social events.
