Do You Want to Start Your Own Permaculture Business?

We have Robyn Francis, a wonderful instructor here briefly from Australia, teaching an advanced permaculture training at the Regenerative Design Institute in July. The early bird registration (a good discount) ends May 29th.

If you want to hear her speak, she's being interviewed on Sustainable World Radio, KCSB 91.9 FM PDT May 29th (streaming live on www.kcsb.org or posted on www.sustainableworldradio.com).

Beyond the PDC: Getting Started As A Permaculture Design Consultant
Offered: July 5 - 8, 2009
Instructor: Robyn Francis
Location: Commonweal Garden, Bolinas, CA

Are you considering starting your own permaculture design business? This course is focused on helping you gain the skills you need -- fast-tracking you through simple shortcuts, handy tips and useful templates.

The instructor, Robyn Francis, shares her experience gleaned from 25 years of designing and teaching permaculture. Her design work has encompassed everything from domestic edible landscapes, small property design, whole farm planning, public landscapes, community and large-scale eco-developments. You will learn how to present and draw up plans: concept plans, overlays, detail drawings, construction drawings, sections, drafting and standard drawing symbols. The course will also address design methodology, site assessment, client briefs and communications, Bills of Quantity, quotes, effective use of basic software, working as a design consultant, creative problem solving processes, designers' tool kit, interdisciplinary team work, and managing and promoting your services.
