About the course

Understanding Plants and Plantations—is a comprehensive course designed to deepen your understanding of how plants shape and support the permaculture systems you will be designing.

In permaculture, plants are not just food sources or decorative in nature. They are ecosystem engineers— they manage water, build soil, support biodiversity, and create microclimates that sustain both plant and animal life. 

In this course, we explore the vital role of plants in designing regenerative, productive landscapes and understand the different types of plants in our ecosystem.
