When we were living in Cape Town, we opened a Permaculture teaching centre on a farm which was called The Cape Farm House. It was located very close to the Cape Point nature reserve which brought many challenges, namely invasion and destruction from roaming baboon troops as well as porcupines and other wild critters. As the area was quite large we were not able to fence it in so we decided to rather teach permaculture which launched us on our teaching career. We ran workshops from the site where we pioneered our modular PDC which consisted of students attending once a fortnight to do one module of the PDC at a time. This system of doing a PDC was quite popular as it was also economical and allowed students to really integrate what they had learnt at each session before learning the next module.
