Passionate about Permaculture is about creating abundant systems that need less and less work to look after them and make more and more yields.

It is a sustainable design system based on principles found in nature. When the ethics of earthcare, peoplecare and fair share are applied we know our design will be sustainable. It can be applied to creating any human system and solving any problem. By learning to observe natural systems and applying these principles we can create robust efficient systems that ultimately generate more and more yi

The Guts and Gluts evening at Free Range was so fun to share super salads through the seasons, unshopping (how to meet our needs in our gardens instead of going to the shops) and the Yields are unlimited animation I created (with lovely creative help) based on Apples. It was great to draw these threads together, formed over many years. It feels like a time of harvesting and integration as we move into the dark months. I am reflecting a lot and although Permaculture has informed my whole adult life, I seem to be on a alternative track to many others that identify as Permies. I have however decided to focus on the gardening and food growing aspect and have got into flow with my new allotment plot, a new course coming next weekend and have decided on a big next step which I will share when I have taken it.
