Women's Workshop

"Jude's weekend Permaculture workshop was everything I could have hoped for in a two day class. Her presentation of the curriculum was very thorough and it really de-mystified Permaculture for me! I left the workshop enthusiastic and inspired, and feeling confident that I have the tools to begin designing right away!" — Student, Women in Permaculture
