Kickstarter: Permaculture Garden Master Course

Tuesday, October 11, 2022 16:22

I’m really excited about this one!

What’s it all about? I’m sure most gardeners are familiar with the Cooperative Extension’s Master Gardener Program. It trains volunteers to answer the thousands of gardening questions that people call in to their county Cooperative Extension office. My stepmom was a Master Gardener for awhile, and I admit I’ve been tempted to take the course, just for the knowledge. But the deterrent has been that it’s geared toward conventional gardening and includes the use of chemical fertilizers and sprays. I’m not interested in that.

In January of this year, Wheaton Labs hosted a Certified Permaculture Garden Master Course in Missoula, Montana. That was too far away for me, but the entire 5-day event was videotaped. Now Permies.com wants to turn all that raw footage into a professional quality permaculture garden master video course! This is something I’m definitely interested in!

The instructor is Helen Atthowe. Helen is a long-time no-till farmer, researcher, and teacher. Noteworthy (to me!) is that she interned with Masanobu Fukuoka. As a former extension agent in Montana, she designed, wrote, and taught the manual for an Organic Master Gardener course for the Montana Cooperative Extension. Now, she teaches the Certified Garden Master Course. If this Kickstarter is successful, this course will be available to us all as a video.

The course teaches organic, veganic, no-till, and permaculture gardening knowledge and skills. You will learn:

how to understand functions and interactions within plant, soil, microorganism, and insect communities
how to identify and manage all the relationships that make up a healthy farm-garden-ecosystem without pesticide and fertilizer inputs
soil and habitat-building for beneficial organisms
systems-thinking for gardeners and farmers: how to manage relationships rather than just crops

I know all that sounds like a full-blown sales pitch, lol. It’s just that I’m really excited about this project. The course will be my winter personal enrichment learning project. If you have any questions, please ask in the comments, and I’ll try to answer them if I can.
