Why is the course called Permaculture Design Process?

We often feel overwhelmed at the thought of designing a garden. especially if we are not of a landscape or horticultural background. But I strongly believe that you must design your garden YOURSELF, without professional help.

This course is a step by step guide to handhold you through the Permaculture Design Process. That is where it gets its name from.
