25.01.2022 Look what I found yesterday for sale for $12 in a second hand bookshop at Erina near IGA (one copy only). I love this book. They're open today... https://m.facebook.com/Bookmania-106602667815464/?hc_ref=ARQnMnsrE9EgDId0DHzpqZg2vcx7TLPgLG1MsNxmK8CmdUYMP2v0UY3tPGp5PGyvqBE&ref=nf_target&fref=tag

24.01.2022 Here's the correct link for the return of Green Living Workshops

21.01.2022 It's wonderful to see the return of Central Coast Council's free Green Living Workshops. Online for now which means you can join in the learning and connection from the comfort of your own home

21.01.2022 Spring has sprung! Happy first day of Spring! Such a special time of year with the start of warm season planting and the joy of being in the garden when there is so much growth and vitality. In permaculture we aim to grow as many perennials as possible (plants that grow for many years and are therefore much more hardy and less "needy"), but many if us still love our annuals, plants that only last a season, and unless self seeding, will need some propagation and care. It's time to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, capsicum, pumpkin, melons, corn, beans, zucchini, to name but a few. A great seasonal planting guide is from https://www.gardenate.com/ What are you planting now?

20.01.2022 Wonderful job opportunities at the beautiful Conscious Ground

19.01.2022 Another great offering from NEV

18.01.2022 Another exciting job opportunity

18.01.2022 Vegesafe testing of soil at minimum cost. You receive a report with soil test results, including heavy metals levels. This link is specifically for chicken runs/areas, however they do testing of soils from other areas of your garden too

16.01.2022 On today! Don't forget you can definitely participate, even if you aren't able to bring any produce. We just ask that you make a donation to charity. Our charity of the month is Moo to Ewe Farmed Animal Sanctuary Hope to see you there

16.01.2022 Cheap clothing is as much of a myth as cheap food. When we look at the supply chain it means that the workers are not being paid fairly and often not being treated ethically, with basic workplace rights/human rights compromised. NGOs such as Oxfam are helping shed light on these issues.

15.01.2022 UPDATE: SOLD OUT APPARENTLY! So excited, bucket list moment! For the first time ever Su Dennet and David Holmgren, the co-originator of Permaculture are opening the doors of their property for an online tour this Sunday! What a wonderful opportunity. I've got my ticket

15.01.2022 Central Coast Council residents be part of a trial of roadside soft plastic recycling/collection. The best part of all is the plastics will be upcycled locally! Very exciting! It's super easy to sign up. I just did.

14.01.2022 Happy Sustainable House Day everyone! A program full of awesome talks and events. Here's some of the Narara Eco Village talks. Also linked is the Australia wide program

12.01.2022 A wonderful opportunity for the right people! Darren and Kim raise awesome organic seedlings and sell organic produce. They provide a wonderful local service

12.01.2022 They act as a living mulch too and can be "chopped and dropped" as the green for insitu soil building. A pesto is yummy and spicy or you can tone it down with some milder herbs like parsley. The seeds are a tasty peppery treat, I eat them as a pick me up when gardening. The seed can also be pickled to use as a caper substitute. Use the leaves as a grape leaf substitute in dolmades or in place of rice paper in Vietnamese rice rolls. They have such colourful, joyful flowers. And that's just a start...what's not to love about nasturtiums?

09.01.2022 Here's a bit more detail and program for Sustainable House Day

08.01.2022 A wonderful opportunity in the Maitland area if you are a Chef

08.01.2022 UPDATE: THIS COURSE IS NOW COMPLETELY FULL - THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST. No further inquiries can be taken this intake. My heart is full of gratitude for the increased interest in Permaculture. It truly is the way to care for our beautiful planet and all creatures on it, and the ethical thinking to move towards a much more conscious and regenerative future <3 I am very excited to announce that I am teaching an Introduction to Permaculture Course through connected/ live on...line learning with Gosford TAFE, starting in mid October 2020, running one day per week for 9 weeks. We will be enrolling two intakes of this course, one on Tuesdays and one on Fridays, each between 9.30am and 2pm (subject to demand). Classes will include a mixture of theory and practical, covering all aspects of Permaculture; Permaculture Ethics, Design, Principles and Practices. Also included will be organic gardening practices, no dig gardens, composting, worm farming, natural pest control and fertilisers as well as focusing on building local resilience and community connection. Please be aware this is NOT an organic gardening course, though many subjects will relate to edible permaculture gardening, permaculture has a much broader context which the course will cover. Your commitment is attendance and participation 4 hours per week for 9 weeks (3 hours connected and 1 hour self-directed learning with allocated tasks), completion of two supported assessment tasks. You need to have access to a device with a camera and microphone and have basic computer skills such as downloading and saving documents and attaching files to email. This course is Government Subsidised and is FREE of cost to participants. Funding is based on how many students successfully complete the Course. It is open to people living all around NSW. There is an Information Session Online next week and attendance is a step towards being accepted into the course. More details will be provided after registering your interest by emailing Annette on [email protected] or calling our office on 43482278. Register your interest ASAP, as the course is sure to fill fast. Last term we filled all the places on the first day. Please spread the word! Here’s some beautiful words from one of my current students studying online Thank you for the passion and enthusiasm you bring to our online classes! What a wonderful teacher

08.01.2022 On this Sunday. Such a wonderful community event

07.01.2022 FULL COURSES! Wow! I’m so excited by the positive response to my free Introduction to Permaculture Course through TAFE. Social media, and wonderful supportive friends and students have helped spread the word far and wide and we already have a full registration list, within 48 hours of posting! Thank you all for your interest, it is inspiring. We will not be taking any further enquiries this intake. For those kind people who shared the original post, it would be much appr...eciated if you could share this post as widely. Many thanks in anticipation. For those who have registered in the last 48 hours, we will be getting back to you with the link to the online Information Session on Monday, and of course you will still need to Enrol after that to secure your place on the course. If you missed out this time, please Like and Follow my page @Synergy Permaculture Australia to keep up to date with other courses and workshops that are coming up. We will be running the Course again next year, so please watch out for further information in January. I hope to connect with you then, Kerrie :-) In the meantime there is lots of great, free information available online. For just a few of my favourites (a mere starting point) please take a look at @Good Life Permaculture, @Morag Gamble @Permacoach @Hidden Valley Harvest @Eagle Ridge Permaculture @Bite Size Permaculture @Narara Eco Village and @Under The Choko Tree.

06.01.2022 A wonderful opportunity to complete a Permaculture Design Certificate Course right here on the Central Coast. With a pattern of attendance on weekends, what a great way to fit it into your schedule! The skilled Teachers Sandi Pointner, Meg McGowan and Graham King will facilitate an awesome learning experience, with a well thought out curriculum, being delivered on 2 local permaculture properties. This will change your life!

05.01.2022 Imagine my surprise this week when I was harvesting some comfrey leaf for a friend's child to help with his healing...I always speak about the multiple uses of comfrey, but this is definitely not one I'd thought of before

04.01.2022 I know my current students at TAFE especially might be interested in this one after our virtual excursion to Narara Eco Village this week

02.01.2022 They are back...Central Coast Council Green Living Workshops online. Here's the link
