We are building a sustainable and equitable Permaculture Design Certification program in Houston based on People Care, Earth Care and Fair Share
Permaculture is an ecological and holistic design system and philosophy for solving modern problems. It has successfully been used around the world to maximize food production, regenerate springs, cool homes, revive vacant lots, reduce pollution, and transform lives.
Urban Harvest offers the Permaculture Design Certification (PDC) through a series of classes totaling over 100 hours of curriculum authorized by the Permaculture Institute of North America.
Registration for the 2026 2027 Permaculture Design Certification is now open. Discover more details and secure your spot by visiting:
