Feedback & Testimonials
Rakesh "Rootsman Rak" has been teaching permaculture and related subjects for decades, however he only started collecting digital feedback for courses since November 2020 (oops). Hence the initial feedback and testimonials are from online courses. More in person course testimonials will appear as he starts teaching in person again post pandemic.
If you have done a course with Rakesh in the past and want to give a testimonial, please contact Rakesh.
