WHAT PAST STUDENTS HAVE THOUGHT

marianne-cicala-permaculture-design-certificateI knew I needed to educate myself beyond just a big personal garden, and I wanted it sustainable. My favorite thing about Andrew is his absolute compassion and attention to everybody. I always have interns and apprentices on the farm, and the way he taught and shared and partnered with his students really gave me a wonderful mentor in the educational field of permaculture. To have somebody that has that kind of experience and knowledge critiquing my design was priceless. ~ Marianne Cicala

jason-schumacher (1)I have a new skill set now, and  appreciate that a formal class setting gave me a framework and focus while developing my ideas. I would not have been able to take this course if it wasn’t online, even if it was offered at an institution near me. I also appreciate the thorough and thoughtful instructor feedback and the ability to focus on my interests and site-specific needs. ~ Jason Schumacher
