This course is a kick-starter for growing veggies in your own garden, inspired by the practice of Permaculture. The lessons can be applied to any site, large or small and the methods are suitable for all climates.

Welcome!


Ever asked yourself these questions?

  • What will work best on my site?
  • What compost and how much should I use?
  • To dig or not to dig?
  • Should I mulch?
  • Do I plant direct from seed?
  • How do I know which plants go well together?
  • How can I do this as naturally and organically as possible?
  • How much food will I get from my garden?
  • Where on earth do I start?

If these are some of the questions you are often asking yourself, this course is for you.

With so much information out there it's hard to know where to start with growing your own organic vegetables. We started growing vegetables and creating permaculture designs more than eight years ago. Many people do not have the time to make all the mistakes we have made or do all the research we have done. The step-by-step lessons of this course will give you the confidence to get into your garden and start growing your own vegetables straight away.



By the end of this course you will be able to:

  1. Design your own Permaculture Site.
  2. Build Soil and Make Compost.
  3. Grow your own Vegetables.

Please see our Course Outline below.




The course includes:

  • 12+ video lessons (approximately 10 minutes each) which will be released over a period of 6 weeks, giving you STEP-BY-STEP instructions which you can follow as we move through the course.
  • DOWNLOADABLE GUIDES to help you implement what you learn.
  • Optional QUIZZES to make sure you understand all the new information you are learning.
  • A COMMUNITY FORUM, where you can ask questions directly to Dan and connect with fellow students as you work through the lessons and start growing vegetables!




This course is for you if:

  • You want to grow your own organic food but don't know where to start.
  • You are already growing your own produce, but want to learn more about the benefits of holistic design, soil health and sustainable growing techniques.
  • You already have a deep interest in Permaculture (perhaps you even have a PDC) but you need some practical direction to get you started.
  • You don't want to use harmful products on your veggies and want to learn how to plant to deter pests and weeds.
  • You are spending lots of time and money in your garden with minimal success.


permaculture is awesome

Amy Signh, UK


Danny was an absolute pleasure to work alongside and to learn from in our couple of months together, and his passion for permaculture was clear from the get-go. Generous with his time and knowledge, he made permaculture accessible for me (I had never previously encountered Permaculture, and had a very rudimentary understanding of land use or cultivating crops etc) and inspired an interest and keenness to grow my knowledge and application of this way of living since the experience. Whatever piqued my curiosity, he could either build my knowledge base or point me in the direction I would find it. I highly recommend undertaking a course with this wonderful teacher, and wish the absolute best with spreading knowledge and application of the Permaculture principles I’ve come to so highly value and respect.

I wish I knew this five years ago! I spent so much energy, money and time on my garden until I learnt about sustainable farming from Dan. I am now very peaceful with the land we have got and am able to produce safe and healthy food for my family. It is so fulfilling for my soul to know that what I am doing is good for the earth too.

 I had my first proper permaculture experience with Dan. I was amazed to learn with and from him and he inspired me a lot. Dan is a very self-reflected person and introduced me to a way where one lives in tune with nature and all the abundance it offers us. With his experience and readiness to do things, he introduced me to much more than only growing food, but a whole way of life along with the permaculture philosophy. I can highly recommend meeting Dan in person or online and to enjoy his great qualities in opening up the knowledge and intuition that might already be inside you, but not accessible before.

On my path to practicing Permaculture, my time with Dan and his partner Nina stands out for providing a strong foundation, giving me the tools and knowledge to seek deeper understanding. Without their passion and patience I would probably be scratching at the surface, not daring to "act".

Dan's in-depth knowledge and passion for permaculture are very contagious. the down to earth content and tips are a great way to get a start in this "field". I really liked the concepts of herb spirals and food forests. The permaculture course is really appropriate in these changing times and will give you a head start in the "science" of growing your own veggies.

I love how for me Permaculture meant going against what we have been conditioned to do, having everything organised and structured. With nature, it is already that and Permaculture and Dan taught me that. Coming from an organised gardening background, I learnt that actually following Permaculture design created less work when everything flows together, so in essence it is no longer work but just a beautiful system.
