Universal High School Permaculture Design CourseA comprehensive 10-month program, from September to June, seamlessly integrated into the school day with 45-minute classes. We explore permaculture design, sustainable agriculture, and urban green spaces. Through hands-on experiences, students learn vital skills, nurture a thriving garden, and become environmental stewards.
We believe that equality and climate justice begins with accesibility. |
