NURTURE &
BE NURTURED
Do you want to build a food garden at home and a community beyond it?
Let us guide you by drawing on the practical wisdom of Permaculture design to connect with the natural and social worlds at your doorstep. Learn about the soil beneath your feet, the cycle of seasons in your garden and how to attune your home life to the environment around you.
You will grow food, connect with your locality, heal the land - and be nurtured as you nurture the earth.
“Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship... into a sacred bond.”
― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
PROGRAMS
Our programs are currently held in-person in Ballarat, Central Victoria and west Melbourne. The teaching and system design methods are informed by the principles of Permaculture and Regenerative Agriculture, which in turn owe their origins to the wisdom of Indigenous earth care practices.
FROM THE GROUND UP
Foundation Program
Four deep-dive sessions to set you and your garden up for success. Each 3-hour session takes place in a host participant's garden, where we cover the fundamentals:
Compost making - multiple ways
Planning your space and your food
In-ground and container growing methods
Water, fertiliser and putting it all together
YARD to YIELD
Journey to an Edible Garden
Join me for a series of low-cost skill shares at my new home in Ballarat, Victoria. The series follows my progress of turning the neglected urban backyard into a productive edible garden.
Through the year, the garden will host 5 demos and talks based on my permaculture design as I build soil and vegetable beds, install an orchard, chooks and bees, and nurture a mistreated space back to life.
In collaboration with the Ballarat Permaculture Guild
