National Permaculture Day at NSCF
This Sunday 1 May
Permaculture is a design system for creating sustainable human environments. It is about designing households and communities that are productive, sustaining and largely self reliant and have minimal impact on the environment.
National Permaculture Day – Sunday 1st May is a day where a range of Permaculture events occur across Australia. Open homes, gardens and farms, films, educational workshops, permablitzes and a host of other activities provide an opportunity for the public to see positive Permaculture projects in action, to talk personally to the people living it and experience the Permaculture movement first hand.
Last year, thousands flocked to discover what Permaculture is all about, to see home gardens and to find answers or solutions to problems. This year promises to be even bigger and better, with many more homes, gardens and workshops on show.
