Practical Permaculture Design Course (PDC)

Step into a living classroom where permaculture becomes something you do, not just something you hear about. Join us for an 8-week Practical Permaculture Design Course at Bogata Šuma, a permaculture homestead in the green heart of Croatia.

This is learning with your sleeves rolled up, soil under your nails, ideas turning into real projects. You’ll design, build, plant, observe, harvest, cook, create systems, and explore what a truly regenerative lifestyle feels like on a dayly basis. It’s a course for active learners who want to experience permaculture in action. Garden beds that thrive, watering systems that make sense, community-minded living, and projects that could become the foundation of your own future.

Your guide on this journey, Barbara Scheltus, has taught hundreds of people across generations. With her warm, practical approach, she’ll help you grow your confidence, your design skills, and your ecological understanding, step by step.

Come spend a season learning how to shape landscapes that feed people and heal the planet. You’ll leave with a personal design, real practice, and the quiet satisfaction of having created something meaningful with your own hands.

Ready to learn by doing? Bogata Šuma is waiting.
