11 intensive days in the heart of Western North Carolina. A full Permaculture Design Certification course, taught on working land, held on weekends so working folks can be here too.

Youโ€™ll learn permaculture from experts in the field, using a curriculum rooted in sustainability, equity, liberation ecology, food justice, and joy. Youโ€™ll design your โœจown site โœจwith 1:1 mentorship on real land, and earn your Permaculture Design Certificate.

Youโ€™ll reconnect with purpose, build community resilience, and get to walk your talk in a space built to hold the hard conversations alongside the practical ones.

Weโ€™re teaching this in the practice of liberation ecology, joyful abolition, and right relation. With honesty, slowness, and in alignment with true permaculture values. More on what brought us back to this work soon. For now, dates, registration, and the full picture are at the link in bio.

Come, we want you with us!

MotherTree Permacultureโ€™s Spring 2026 course offers a chance to learn the skills that will transform your goals into plans, actions, and joy.

Youโ€™ll be supported by experienced instructors, hands-on practice, and a learning community that continues beyond the classroom.
This course is designed for people who want to translate ideas into real work while staying connected to land, purpose, and reality.
What you learn with us goes beyond inspiration to help carry you forward.

This course will change how you see and move through our food systems. We give you the skills needed to make a change, context for your decisions, and people to learn alongside with.
MotherTreeโ€™s Permaculture Design Course is for people who want to work with the land and enter systems thoughtfully to be part of a joyful revolution.

Our course is women-led and founded in racial justice and equity. Your instructors donโ€™t separate ecology from history or land from power. In this class, we teach that part of good design is understanding how race, access, and exclusion shape food systems and land use.

We strive to make this essential work approachable while also holding ourselves accountable. Mother Tree Permacultureโ€™s perspective informs how to observe landscapes, design systems, and show up in our work and communities.
Learning with us is active!

You wonโ€™t spend all your time just sitting through lectures. Most of the course happens outdoors, through direct observation, guided instruction, and hands-on practice.

What is unique to our program is that ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐˜€๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ฟ ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—น๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ท๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐˜€.

The project is taught and completed with support from the instructors every step of the way. Youโ€™ll learn to read land, map it, and work through design decisions with practical tools you already know how to use. If you donโ€™t have land of your own, youโ€™ll be paired with a meaningful site so the work stays connected to real conditions. Practice is the point.

You will leave with a comprehensive manual that becomes a dirty, creased, long-term reference guide used throughout your permaculture journey. Youโ€™ll have hands-on experience working with tools referenced in the guide, not just hearing about them. We offer our course in the spring so that what you learn can move directly into action. Skills gained here can be applied immediately during the 2026 growing season and built on in the years that follow.

And while the course ends, the relationships donโ€™t! Students stay connected through shared chats and channels, exchanging resources, opportunities, questions, and support. Many continue collaborating and learning together long after the course concludes.

Everyone is welcome. Some students are new to permaculture. Others have been practicing for years. Mother Treeโ€™s instructors bring decades of experience, not only in permaculture but also in working with local land and community. This class is collaborative. Our instructors are skilled at teaching across levels without hierarchy or pressure. Curiosity, care, and a willingness to engage are what matter most.

If youโ€™ve been thinking about learning skills that will genuinely support your life and purpose, now is the time.
