Patterns in budding Fragipani

To help change the world, we believe we need to change what is taught, what is valued and the means by which people learn and share knowledge.

Over the next few years we are building a live-in education centre to teach Accredited Permaculture Training (APT) in partnership with Eltham College our Registered Training Organisation; and Permaculture Design Course (PDC) Diplomas. At present we are seeking trainees who wish to help build our education centre whilst receiving an APT Certificate IV at a subsidised cost.

We also continue to offer a unique 'real-world' learning experience under the Australian WWOOF scheme, where you live, learn and work with us for a negotiated period.

If you don't have the time to WWOOF or we are full, we also offer hour long tours of the property (contact us for prices and to arrange a suitable time).

We are also actively engaged in our local community hosting educational activity based learning with local school groups, college students, Greencorps participants and visiting university undergraduates.
