TUTORS

The main tutors for the Permaculture Design Certificate programme are Finn Mackesy, Gary Marshall and Ron Sperber. Previous participants have valued their collective approach to teaching and learning:

“Good mix of teaching styles, exciting topics and the tutors were very knowledgeable”

“Really liked your style of presentation and the different view points you both expressed…You are also both very approachable”

Finn, Gary, and Ron are supported by several other expert tutors who bring their particular skills, experiences and passion to different workshops throughout the programme. Support tutors include Cathy Angell, Derek Craig and Buffie Mawhinney.

“Because of the infinite relationships possible between humans, ecosystems, and natural resources, no two sustainable landscapes are apt to look alike, particularly if they occur in different regions or evolve with different baseline ecosystems or cultures. The movement toward bioregionalism deliberately attempts to exploit the uniqueness of local cultures and landscapes in creating a sustainable future, and runs counter to the idea of a widely dispersed, externally imposed aesthetic style”
