PLANT EDUCATION
At Plant Path nursery we believe education is just as important as propagation, which is why we are offering a number of different workshops, plant walks, and even a full 72 hour permaculture design course in Maryland.
​
We aim to empower everyone in this world with the knowledge, understanding, and hands on experience necessary to create a life of abundance, diversity, and resilience. As such, we offer a range of educational opportunities, and there are work trade options on many of our programs for those who have limited financial means. We will also put out video content that can be of benefit to anyone with access to the internet.
Our motto is "Each one, teach ten."
In this simple and approachable way we can grow this movement exponentially and reach the whole world in less than a decade! Register today to join us in developing a truly regenerative culture.
PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE
Learn about forest gardening, landscape design, alternative energy solutions, foraging, mycology, sustainable living and much more.
Permaculture is a design science that aims to create a permanent culture. It is a way of caring for the earth and every living being so that they may continue to thrive indefinitely. Permaculture emphasizes interdependence, diversity, resilience, and regenerative practices.
Join us for a transformative Permaculture Design Course that goes beyond the classroom, offering a deeply immersive and practical experience in sustainable living. This course is designed for anyone eager to cultivate a deeper connection with nature, develop practical skills, and design regenerative systems for home, garden, or community spaces.
Spanning six weekends from the last weekend in March to the last weekend in October, our course is structured to provide ample time for learning, reflection, and implementation. Each session is packed with hands-on activities, from soil building and composting to water harvesting and planting. You’ll gain practical experience in key permaculture principles while working on real-world projects in a supportive, collaborative environment.
A highlight of the course includes tours of established food forests and permaculture gardens. These visits will inspire and educate as you witness thriving, self-sustaining systems in action. You’ll learn directly from experienced practitioners, exploring diverse strategies for integrating food production, habitat creation, and resource management.
Whether you’re a beginner or already practicing permaculture, this course will deepen your understanding and provide actionable tools to create resilient ecosystems. Between sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned at home, with support and feedback from instructors and peers.
By the end of this journey, you’ll walk away with not only a Permaculture Design Certificate but also the confidence, knowledge, and community to bring your vision of sustainability to life. Ready to join? Spaces are limited, so sign up today to secure your spot!
