Teaching permaculture teachers

Founded by Morag Gamble, our Institute teaches you how to design abundant permaculture systems, become an excellent permaculture teacher, and start your own permaculture enterprise.

Our mission

To raise awareness of permaculture education because it makes a tangible difference in people’s everyday lives. We want to help all households and communities to live a one-planet-life, and provide opportunities for young people to be part of a practical revolution.
