Quotes from participants of the 2025 and 2026 Online PDCs:

I wildly underestimated how life-changing this course would be The course was amazing and I learned an incredible lot. It was beautifully structured. It was intense but very, very enjoyable …. it's nice to be in a learning environment that has a heart. Really excellent course This has been an exciting and empowering course for me. The best course I have ever done. It is a milestone in my life and is truly changing my life I loved the interaction between us all and the sharing of experiences and knowledge This course has been truly transformational. It has been healing, even though what needed to be healed was invisible. I have never managed to truly connect with my garden before.  This course opened up new pathways of connection and enthusiasm and love of permaculture for me. I can honestly say it has been one of the most influential courses I have ever done, in terms of empowering me to see potential in working on the land, and in instilling a love of this way of life into me. Thank you all.
