Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute Course Schedule 2008

Greenhouse Construction Series
A series of weekend workshops will cover the basic processes involved in the construction of a passive/active solar, year round greenhouse, designed for our high desert climate. Tuition is free of charge (with a free lunch, too!), as the greenhouse being constructed will be to replace our beloved sub-tropical greenhouse Pele, which burned down this past October as a result of a rodent colonizing its sauna’s flue pipe.

May 24-25: Footers and Foundations
June 7-8: Erecting Steel Posts and Trusses
June 23rd: Fundraiser Dinner & Update at 689 in Carbondale, CO
June 28-29: Installing Polycarbonate Glazing
July 12-13: Infilling and Insulating Vertical Walls
August 9-10: Interior Design with Soil, Thermal Mass and Planting

22nd Annual Permaculture Design Certification Course
With Peter Bane, Jerome Osentowski, Becky Elder, Travis Beck and Others

The CRMPI Permaculture Design Certification Course provides participants with an understanding of the essential principles and elements of permaculture, enabling them to better design and engineer sustainable systems including forest gardens, appropriate buildings, greenhouses, and more. During the first week we’ll cover the essential elements of permaculture, followed in the second week by a full-spectrum design project. The curriculum includes a variety of classes and workshops essential to every permaculturist’s development: from soil structure to the invisible structures of our economy and society.

Tuition is $1,250 and includes a non-refundable $100 deposit. Meals, camping and all curriculum materials will be provided.

Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute is located just outside Basalt, Colorado.
