Course overview

Clasquin introduces permaculture principles and techniques through a small set of clear topics. The course combines a design mindset with practical ideas for a more connected garden system. It is an initial exploration of observing relationships and planning a space, rather than a full professional permaculture-design qualification.

What you will learn

  • Recognize introductory permaculture principles
  • Compare relationships within a garden system
  • Apply observation to an initial design sketch

Who this suits

A fit for a beginner curious about permaculture or natural gardening who wants a concise introduction before choosing a longer design course or undertaking major changes.

Before you enroll

The provider lists no requirements and about one hour and nine minutes of video, updated September 2020. A Udemy completion certificate is not a full Permaculture Design Certificate. Climate, water, site and local rules affect practical design choices; evaluate them before treating a general example as a ready-made plan.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Sketch one small growing space and map sunlight, water movement and existing plants. Identify a few relationships worth observing further before deciding which design change to test.
