I took a Permaculture Design Course with Jude Hobbs, Rick Valley, Maraisha Aurebach, and teaching assistant Anna Wemple, at
Lost Valley, Oregon in December, 2014. It was lovely! This PDC was offered through the
Cascadia Permaculture.
Here are some pictures of the course, the location, activities and participants.
