This May, Earthbound is hosting a fully accredited Permaculture Design Certificate - a 12-day course for people who want to understand how to work with land, people and place in a more regenerative way.

The course follows the internationally recognised 72-hour Permaculture Design Curriculum and is led by Jodie Tallam of Design to Thrive.

It takes place here on the farm - a living, working example of the principles you'll be learning.

THE COURSE

Over 12 days you'll move through the core areas of permaculture design:

• Ecological and social systems design

• Regenerative food systems

• Community-led project design

• Cooperative working and group facilitation

• Real-world design projects on the land

Learning happens through a mix of teaching, group discussion, hands-on practical work, and collaborative design projects. No prior experience is needed - just genuine curiosity and a willingness to engage.

On completion you'll receive a Permaculture Design Certificate, accredited by the Permaculture Association and recognised internationally.

THE VENUE

Earthbound is a small regenerative farm on the edge of the Fowey Estuary - a place where the principles of permaculture are already being practised in the soil, the orchard, and the daily rhythms of the land. Learning here happens in a setting that itself teaches.

Between sessions there's space for walks, time in nature, and use of the wood-fired sauna. Discounted camping on site is available - get in touch via Design to Thrive to arrange.
