Creating Gaia’s Garden Early Bird Special
Join best-selling permaculture author Toby Hemenway and over 100 students for a dynamic and practical course on creating your home ecosystem. Imagine living in a yard that overflows with food and other useful products such as medicine, fiber, and building supplies. Your yard can also shrink home energy bills, extend your growing season, and be a comfortable outdoor space year-round in all but the harshest climates.
It can also help provide income and reduce your dependence on money. In this 5-session course, you’ll learn how to do all this, but there’s more: That same yard that gives you food, energy, and income security can also enhance wildlife habitat, sequester carbon, and provide a beautiful, restful sanctuary for you and your partners or family. If you enjoyed reading Gaia’s Garden, this course will show you how to bring that book to life in your yard. Those who complete this course will earn a certificate from the Permaculture Institute (USA).

Permaculture Institute Certificate
Those who successfully complete the “Creating Gaia’s Garden” course will receive a certificate from The Permaculture Institute USA, a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 1997 by Bill Mollison and Scott Pittman, and will also receive 10 credit hours toward a Diploma in Permaculture. PI-USA is one of the principal certifying organizations of the international permaculture community, and Toby Hemenway is a Field Director for the Institute, which means that he can offer certificates sponsored by PI-USA, and can mentor students through the Institute’s Diploma Program.
The Diploma in Permaculture is awarded to individuals who meet certain education requirements, achieve excellence in permaculture practice, demonstrate their commitment to permaculture ethics, and submit adequate evidence of their work to a committee of peers (College of Diplomats) for review and recommendations.
A permaculture design certificate course (PDC) is a pre-requisite for the diploma, but the credit hours from the ”Creating Gaia’s Garden” online course can be applied toward the diploma regardless of whether the student has completed a PDC prior to this course or not. The credit hours from this course cannot be applied toward the PDC at the present time. More information about PI-USA’s diploma program can be found at http://www.permaculture.

This is a sweet deal! This is the book that got me started! Thank you, PE Team!
Will the course access link for stream or download be in our email upon ordering from perma ethos website?
Hello Jon,
When you register for the course you will receive an email each time a new lesson will go live and when each recording is available for download. The download links themselves will be in the actual course notes which you will have access to once you purchase the course and each recorded lesson is available.
Let me know if this does or does not answer your question.
Thank you,
Josiah Wallingford
I’m a PE Founder – how do I get the additional $25 discount?
It is actually a $50 discount. I will update the post. You can find all of the Founding Member discounts in the PE Learning Center forums. Here is the direct link to the Founding Member forum: http://learn.permaethos.com/groups/founding-members/forum/
I am also a PE Founder but I don’t see anything on the site about applying that specific discount. I have the course in my cart and there is a coupon code, is there one for founding members or will it know I’m a founding member by my logon?
Thanks~
If you are a founding member you will have access to the founding member group and forums here: http://learn.permaethos.com/groups/founding-members/forum/
If you are a founding member and do not have access to this group you can request access and we will then check your account and approve access if you are indeed a founding member.
In that group page you will see all of the founding member discount codes. The code should be used during check-out by choosing “coupon code”.
