“This is a terrific course taught by a superb teacher. I recently took a class by Caitlin and she combines scholarship and passion brilliantly. She does not make Permaculture “precious” and gets across the philosophy and life change needed to embrace Permaculture as a way of living and growing food.”
-John Lyons, Horticulturist, The Woven Garden
“I’ve never met anyone with such a green thumb in my entire life! Wherever you go the plants spring up and flourish. I’m jealous of those plants. ”

“I was leery about signing up for the course because I had already taken a PDC with high hopes and didn’t get much out of it. I’m so happy that I did end up taking your course because I’m getting hundreds of times more depth, both with the science as well as hands on, with this one and finally feel that I can present this information to my students. I got the cliches in the other course and this one I’m actually getting the real deal. Thank you!”
-S. Fennoy, PhD, Plant Physiology, College Professor
“When I signed up for the PDC Course, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. After 6 weeks into the course, I am just blown away at how much I have learned and I have been telling everyone I meet about it. It has truly has changed the way I look at the world around me… I highly recommend anyone taking this course whether you want to apply it just to your personal life or if you want to go big and spread it around the world. It’s truly a life changing experience.”

Your garden has completely opened my eyes. I have never seen anything like this in the world! Seeing this has changed my life; I’ve already texted a family member about your garden.”

“Some of the things you said just stuck out and made so much sense to me. I’ve been a teacher for 20 years and have never been able to communicate to my students the importance of mulching the way you did today. I’m going to start teaching forest ecosystems and mulch the way you taught me. Thank you.”
-Grade School Teacher, Santa Monica
“What you are doing here is the hottest thing happening in permaculture in Southern California. You have the abilities to unite and give meaning to people’s lives. If you notice, everywhere we go people seem to crawl out of the wood work to find you and to find out how to take classes and really become involved. My whole life’s work has fluoresced in seeing what you’ve got happening here.”
-Seasoned Permaculture Instructor, CA
“Whenever you talk about permaculture your enthusiasm is so contagious that I want to go home and throw cardboard down on my lawn (and start a food forest).”
