Full PDC at Treflach farm January 2023
A PDC is an internationally recognised curriculum of 72 hours. We are offering this over 24 weeks, with a three hour session each week. This includes a formal lecture followed by 50 mins of peer-peer chat and discussion in a mediated space.
Live theory sessions will be broadcast over zoom, and also recorded and posted. Opportunities for, practical and volunteer sessions each week, also other site visits by arrangement. A PDC is a mix of theory, practicals and case study examples.
The Mandala garden in the video above was designed by PDC students in April 2021`and we commeneced building it shortly after, on regular Thursday volunteer sessions. It is designed as a long term soil building experiment and we are part of a research partnership to monitor the impact of certain approaches and techniques to growing.
