This internationally recognized 72-hour course runs over 12 Saturdays (10am–4pm, February–May 2026). Our PDC is hands-on and workshop-based, not just theory in a classroom. You’ll learn directly from the professionals who design, install, and maintain regenerative landscapes every day.
Your primary instructor: Mike McCord, Founder of Community Foodscapes, alongside guest instructors from our team.
Course focus: sustainable land stewardship, food production, soil health, water management, perennial systems, and habitat design. The emphasis is on plants, food, and land care.
