Permaculture Garden Harvest Fundamentals: A Live Webinar Series

A Live Fall Webinar + Mini Course

You want to preserve the bounty of your garden this season.
But figuring out where to start can feel overwhelming...

  • What can you store fresh, and how?
  • Should you freeze it, can it, dehydrate it, or ferment it?
  • How do you save seeds to plant in next spring's garden?

This live webinar mini course with experienced permaculture practitioners gives you a clear, practical path forward so you can stop guessing and start harvesting.

Put Your Harvest to Work All Year Long

You will learn how to preserve your harvest in ways that fit your climate, your crops, and your goals. Each session builds on the last, helping you make real progress week by week.

By the end, you will have a plan and the confidence to put it into action before winter arrives.

This is not just theory.

It is practical guidance from experienced permaculture instructors, combined with live Q&A and structured mini-course content you can revisit anytime.

What You Will Gain

You will walk away with the knowledge and confidence to:

  • Store and preserve your harvest bounty
  • Supplement your garden harvest with preserved foods throughout the year
  • Extend your growing and harvesting season
  • Save your own seeds for the following year's garden
  • Protect your soil throughout the cold months of the year
  • Incorporate seasonal harvest cycles into your garden planning

Instead of piecing together advice from videos and blogs, you will follow a proven framework. One that helps you make the right preservation choices from the start.

You will also learn how to understand your specific climate and site conditions. That means you are not just copying what works for someone else. You are building a harvest system designed for where you live.

Designed for Real Results This Season

This course focuses on putting your harvest to use now. You will learn how to assess your crops, choose your preservation approach, and build a seasonal system that carries your garden through the winter and into next year.

Along the way, you will discover:

  • How to identify the best food storage methods for your climate
  • When and how to harvest seeds for next spring
  • The advantages and tradeoffs of dehydrating, freezing, canning, and fermenting
  • How to prepare your garden beds for the dormant season
  • Ways to protect pollinators and soil life through the cold months
  • How to use cover crops and season extension to your advantage

By the end of the series, you will have a clear path forward. No more trial and error.

No more second guessing.

Just a practical plan you can implement before the season ends.

Learn With Guidance and Support

This mini course combines live instruction with interactive learning. You are not doing this alone.

You will receive:

  • Four live webinars with experienced permaculture instructors
  • Real time Q&A to get answers specific to your garden and climate
  • Guided mini course content in Canvas
  • Recordings so you can revisit key lessons
  • A collaborative learning environment with fellow gardeners

How This Course Helps You Finish the Season Strong

Letting a harvest go to waste, or heading into winter without preparing your garden, are easy mistakes to make without the right guidance.

This course series helps you avoid those common setbacks and move forward with confidence.

You will save time. You will preserve more food. You will build a seasonal system that improves each year.

This course is a follow-up to the Permaculture Gardening Fundamentals course. Taking that course first is not required. This is a stand-alone course.

This course focuses on annual vegetable gardening and end-of-season practices. If you later want to expand into full site design, water systems, and perennial planning, those topics are explored more deeply in OSU's full Permaculture Design Course.
