" The team at SOP is absolutely amazing. The knowledge they impart is life-changing. So grateful to have found them. "

" Just started the PDC and I'm very impressed with their organizational setup and Nicholas' knowledge. Very, very instructive and helpful.This is a great school for anyone interested in learning permaculture. Can't wait for the next class. "

“ One of the best things I have done is take the permaculture design course! Its life giving.... literally. ”

" I loved every minute. Excellent people, excellent instruction, excellent discussion, invaluable knowledge. I wish I could take it again just to be able to integrate everything more fully. If you have any interest at all in sustainable living (which you should, if you reside on Earth), you must seriously consider permaculture training. There's really no other ship that can sail all the way across the sea. "

“ This is by far the best thing that I have ever done for myself. There was so much growth, and even more to be had. Thank you so much again, y'all have changed my life in more ways then you know! ”

“ I had a great time, met some great people, and learned how to keep an open mind. ”

“ What a great class we had these two last weekends! Whole Systems Gardening! So much good information! Such a nice group of people! Thanks so much! ”

“ Just wanted to drop by and Thank You - Nicholas Burtner, Anita Mills, Kristi Burtner and Mary-Kate Carter for teaching me to garden and giving confidence in my plant-growing abilities! ”

“ A school is only as good as its teacher/s, and Nicholas Burtner is a true teacher (leader) who cares about his students and the world at large. He practices what he preaches and he enables his students to go out into the world and do good works. I highly recommend the School of Permaculture! ”
