Join me for 4 days of practical permaculture design
Would you like some practical permaculture design experience?
There are a couple of places available for you to join me for 4 days of practical permaculture design in a collaborative design intensive at the Yandina Community Gardens. We are redesigning the educational community gardens using a method I call ‘citizen design’ (more about this in another blogpost and soon released as a chapter of a book about urban agriculture of Australia, published by UWA press).
This hands-on permaculture design intensive will take place within the Yandina Community Gardens – a thriving community hub and educational space in Yandina (Sunshine Coast hinterland, QLD). The group has decided is time to review their gardens and rethink how to weave permaculture design into all aspects of what they do.
YOUR INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE
This is a chance for you to be part of the evolution of the gardens. I’ll be facilitating the collaborative permaculture design process and together we will create a fabulous design for this community education space where the principles of permaculture design can be clearly seen and excellent examples of permaculture design, holistic thinking and sustainable living function together as a cohesive whole and be visible throughout.
We are co-creating a world-class permaculture education demonstration garden and you are warmly welcome to join in.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
To join these workshops, there is no experience is necessary – just an open willingness to:
• listen to the land and others
• imagine a positive future
• enjoy learning and sharing ideas together
• think and design creatively together
This is a great opportunity to deepen your knowledge, understanding, and practice of permaculture thinking and design. You will feel more capable to be actively engaged in the ongoing development of the community gardens and have so many excellent ideas to apply to your own garden too.
PART 1: SEEING THE GARDENS WITH FRESH EYES – 4 AUGUST, 9 am – 1 pm
Together we will observe, explore and reflect upon the purpose and design of the gardens. We will do a deep dive into the permaculture ethics and principles and take a look at some creative inspiration. By the end of this session, we will have undertaken a site assessment, needs analysis and created a permaculture wish list for the gardens.
PART 2: RESHAPING THE GARDEN DESIGN – 11 AUGUST, 9 am – 1 pm
In a collaborative design studio setting, participants will refine the permaculture element selection, map out zones, connections, and flows, and create a draft concept design for the gardens.
PART 3: DESIGNING THE DETAIL – 25 AUGUST, 9 am – 1 pm
With a clearer idea of the elements and broad patterns of the site, this workshop will be a collaborative design studio to develop detail design ideas and systems for the site.
PART 4: THE NEW DESIGN PLAN – 8 SEPTEMBER, 9 am – 11 am
The collection of design ideas, plans, and strategies that emerge through the first three sessions will be woven together and presented back to the group as a cohesive design. Together we will walk the site, check the design, tweak it and reflect on our process and learnings.
It will be like completing a practical mini-PDC intensive and change the way you interact with, understand and connect with this amazing community, community space and your spaces at home.
HOW TO REGISTER
Booking is essential. Most places are for active volunteers of the community gardens, but a few extra places have been made available. I recommend you be quick to ensure a place. Bookings are only accepted for doing all 4 sessions.

A LITTLE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE IN THIS COMMUNITY GARDENING/COLLABORATIVE DESIGN
I’ve been involved in permaculture and community gardening for over 25 years in 20 countries. I was one of the co-founders of Northey Street City Farm and the Australian City Farms and Community Gardens Network, and have supported the collaborative design and development of many community gardens, schools, university and hospital garden projects both locally and in global cities such as Hong Kong, Havana, Barcelona, Seoul, L.A, Berkeley and more. I wrote the Urban Agriculture Report for Brisbane (2005) and help people design their home food gardens too.
I regularly teach at community gardens, permaculture centres and libraries, and lectured in Food Politics for many years at Griffith University. I have recently established The Permaculture Education Institute (https://ift.tt/2KkJPMU), create the Our Permaculture Life YouTube Channel https://youtube.com/moraggambleourpermaculturelife and other programs such as Nature Kids and Earth School camps for high schoolers.
My goal is to actively engage as many people as possible in positive community action around growing food – for people and the planet.
I have a Bachelor of Planning and Design and a Postgraduate Diploma of Landscape Architecture from The University of Melbourne and a Master of Environmental Education (Hons) from Griffith University.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BECOMING A PERMACULTURE TEACHER?
This week I launched the Permaculture Educator’s Program – the first comprehensive online program for people wanting to become permaculture teachers and cultivate a livelihood with permaculture. It includes both a Permaculture Design Certificate and a Permaculture Teacher Certificate. Registrations are open. Find out more, click on the image below.
