What people are saying about this course

I have Permaculture One, this is a better discussion point stimulator. -Joseph Van Wyck


I appreciate his overview of the history of humanity, his recap on what permaculture is and his own definition. I'm encouraged to see how he has presented his handwritten presentations…Very simple and non-threatening. I appreciate that the videos are only a few minutes long as well. The content is superb, relevant, usable and jam-packed…The history of humanity is in here?! Wow, Brian knows his stuff! -Clarence Garay


Many thanks to the author of this series, for sharing this valuable information and experience with us! Those videos cover multiple important topics any sustainable farmer should consider. The information is mostly general and thus suitable for a starting point and becoming a good overview of the multiple facets one have to address in order to establish a good natural and sustainable farm. I recommend it! -Svetoslav Vasilev


Einfach gut geklärt (Simply well clarified) -Petra Panglisch-Breuer


I really enjoy your outlook - I don't find it as utopian as I was expecting (sorry about that) Rather I feel it to actually be a realistic outlook. I am reading the book 'Sapiens' which your first few videos reminded me of quite bit. -Peter Stuart Turner


Brian is great in explaining information that is simple and directly to the point and awesome simple drawings! -Rita Falsetto


As a beginner to Permaculture, I now feel that I have a good understanding to creating a more sustainable existence… Over all I feel that the course is well worth the time and money investment and that he does a good job of explaining many different types of sustainable systems that we can implement. -Michael Taylor


Really nice course explaining the basics of permaculture with the added bonus of real life applications. Lovely chap and very inspiring. -Carrie Marshall


Good explanation about the reason/purpose for creating this course. Lots of good information about living using different ideas about how to interact with our environment. Nice job Brian…Hope you create a sequel... I'll sign up. -Bill Lathrop


This course is a simple and easy to understand overview of what permaculture is and how we can apply the principles. Although it was quick in it's summary, it's point was simple and logical in relation to nature and how we can interact within it's laws. Thanks for breaking down the Permaculture Principles in an easy to understand and applicable way. Happy gardening all :) -Jodie Paul
