What Are Our Clients Saying?

Everyone on the earth should do this course. Everything it teaches is so important in ensuring we build a respectful and resilient world. I can’t wait to learn more and spread the word! A.D.
I was blown away by what I had learned and am really looking forward to learning more. This is obviously what we need to be doing in order to restore our planet, Ludwig is an amazing person with so much knowledge, this man knows his stuff.Nick
My time [at the Penninghame permaculture project] has fundamentally changed how I view our role on the planet, and enlightened me to the lessons in which nature itself can teach us. I feel the knowledge I gain here will benefit the rest of my life and I am privileged to have been giving the opportunity to learn and grow spiritually. I am sure many others before and after I will have a similar experience.G.W.S.Clark, Aberdeen
A great course with inspiring tutors. You cannot complete this course and not go away and change the way you live, at least in some small way. Inspiring and thought provoking.J.K.
Every so often in life you stumble across a little gem – and this is one! … [Ludwig's] knowledge of plants is extensive, detailed and willingly shared and nothing is too much trouble for him. His passion and concern for the environment is evident in everything he does. … I can recommend him thoroughly. Like me, you will not be disappointed!Christine W, Norfolk
After making a thorough assessment and lots of observations, [Ludwig] gave me very well thought out and useful written advice, with really good links to the internet for extra detail. I feel very much more confident about going ahead with my project now than I did before his visit, especially knowing that I can call on his wide experience and knowledge, as it is needed. Susan Maxwell, Kintyre
This is my second year of dealing with Ludwig. It will certainly not be my last year. I like the fact that what I acquire gets reinvested in environmental projects. He is a very ethical plantsman and a pleasure to deal with.Mohammed A, Birmingham
The Earth Ways Permaculture course was accessible enough for me to understand as a relative beginner and deep enough to engage my inspiration, curiosity and creativity.Karen, Forres
