BOUDDI PERMACULTURE
Solutions for Living and Growing
EARTH CARE ... PEOPLE CARE ... FAIR SHARE
Bouddi Permaculture has been delivering regenerative solutions to rebuild ecosystems and communities since 2012. Based on the beautiful NSW Central Coast, we facilitate permaculture training and support individuals to develop permaculture based projects.
PERMACULTURE
SOLUTIONS FOR GROWING AND LIVING
You could be forgiven for thinking that Permaculture is all about organic gardening - but it is way more than that!
Permaculture is a method of design that can be applied to landscapes, living spaces, individuals, communities and indeed large cities.
To really get a good understanding, the Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC), is a very effective way of learning to design permaculture solutions. Broken into 11 modules, the course will give you the skills to turn your garden and living space into a productive, sustainable ecosystem!
You can do one module, or all of them and they are suitable for beginners or those with previous knowledge.
LEARN WITH US
Paula and Ian, through their International work have seen first hand the value that permaculture can bring to individuals and communities around the world.
One of the permaculture ethics is to 'share the surplus' and that doesn't only apply to sharing a glut of tomatoes! They practice this ethic by sharing their skills, and making sure that it is as affordable as possible for everyone.
Bouddi Permaculture offers a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) which we deliver via a series of practical and fun workshops that we call Solutions for Living and Growing.
The cost for this internationally accredited course is $995* which includes
11 full day workshops full of practical learning
textbook
assessment
all notes and required learning materials (seeds, plant material etc)
Permaculture Design Certificate (upon successful completion)
Profits from the training are redirected to permaculture communities overseas that are impacted by climate events, food insecurity and conflict.

ABOUT US
Your core teachers for this PDC will be Paula Paananen, Ian Paananen and Anna Trigg.
Additional guest presenters will share their skills on specific topics throughout the course.
PAULA
Paula is an established international trainer with over a decade's experience training permaculture to communities that are impacted by mass migration, climate change and conflict. She has worked with communities in Uganda, the Solomon Islands, Iraq and Indonesia.
She is driven to empower communities to build resilience and to adapt to a changing planet. She is an expert in building regenerative communities and is currently training communities that were impacted by the Black Summer 19/20 Fires.
When at home, she keeps bees and rehabilitates native animals on their 5 acre permaculture block on the NSW Central Coast.
IAN
Ian is a trained horticultural scientist who has run a successful international consulting company since 1996.
Since completing his PDC with Paula in 2007, Ian has worked with farmers, breeders and agricultural consortiums to develop growing systems and has provided technical advice to growers from around the world. He consults to growers across Australia in Integrated Pest and Disease management and organic growing systems.
He is an active member of the RFS and enjoys spending hours propagating plants.
ANNA
Anna completed her PDC in April 2019 and has since become immersed in permaculture and community building projects.
Her residence and abundant garden at Killcare provides a great example of permaculture in practice. Anna has skills in creating and adapting business models that are socially responsible and environmentally ethical.
She shares her productive garden with her two daughters, Emily and Holly, husband Bob and their cattle dog called 'Red'.
TESTIMONIALS
A few words from previous participants
Nick
Great course facilitation by Anna and Paula and you get to meet lots of really nice people. The best things about the course are how much sense it all makes, it can be applied easily anywhere (even in an apartment) and it's really interesting and fun. It's made me realise the interconnectedness of every aspect of life and that it's up to you to make a difference in small ways rather than being depressed about the state of things. Putting the principles into practice is really fun and you don't need much space or money to do it. Seeing your garden grow and eating the nicest food is just the best!
