Educational Partnerships

We bring permaculture principles to life for students of all ages through our educational partnerships. Students gain access to expert instructors and hands-on learning opportunities. Together, we're building a more resilient and sustainable future through education.

  • “Working with the Shenandoah Permaculture Institute has been a truly rewarding experience. They are self-reliant, collaborative team players who give and receive feedback well, making them incredibly easy to work with. Their teachers are well-versed in adult education best practices, ensuring that their programs are engaging, accessible, and impactful. Since our partnership began in 2016, the Richmond area network of permaculture practitioners has grown tremendously, fostering a stronger, more resilient community committed to sustainable practices.”
