Education and Workshop Services
For over two decades Sonoran Permaculture Guild has been teaching our own workshops and classes, and we’ve also been teaching courses, workshops, and classes for homeowners, non-profits, businesses, schools, and neighborhood groups to help them complete their own educational experience. We provide trained instructors and organizational help for workshops of any size on sustainability topics. Send an e-mail to the SPG Manager at dandorsey292@gmail.com to inquire on rates; we can help you develop your custom workshop or class and provide instructors for a few hours all the way up to a semester long educational experience.
Here is a sample of the many groups we have worked with:
Workshop: Introduction to Permaculture Design
Client: Tucson Botanical Gardens
Workshop: Teach TUSD Challenger Middle School Teachers Straw Bale Construction
Client: Tucson Unified School District
TUSD contracted SPG to teach the Challenger Middle School teachers, so they could then finish their educational grant to build straw bale walls and make home made adobe blocks at the school with the the students. Our professional instructors excel at working with grant recipients, so they can complete their projects via workshops.
