Join

and displays at the public open day
and Permaculture Fair on Saturday 13th May, 10am-4pm. Connect with
people committed to making the world a better place. Learn something
new, share your ideas and experience with others and explore the
gardens. Books, resources and plants for sale. Abundance
Cafe will be open with delicious snacks, lunches and local coffee. NB
this will replace the Annual Djanbung Gardens Open Day normally held in
June.
On Saturday evening, treat yourself to the ultimate Locavore Feast fundraising dinner on Saturday evening from 6.30pm
catered by Abundance Café, specialising in garden fresh and local foods
of the Nimbin bioregion and Northern Rivers prepared by our
permaculture artisan chef, Melian Fertl. There will be live
entertainment and Rosemary Morrow, who has recently returned from
working with Kurdish refugees in the Middle East, will be guest
speaker. Costa Georgiadis will also join us on screen to share some
pearls of wisdom in his affable exuberant style.
This
event is celebrating 30 years since the incorporation of Permaculture
International Ltd in 1987, which now
operates as Permaculture Australia (PA). PA is the national voice
connecting permaculture practitioners around Australia. It pioneered the
accrediting of vocational qualifications and training in permaculture,
which in 2016 was included in the National Training
Package with Horticulture, Agriculture and Conservation and Land
Management. PA also operates the only dedicated permaculture tax
deductible gift fund ‘Permafund’ which provides small grants to
permaculture projects throughout Australia and internationally
in areas of need.
This
event is being hosted by Permaculture College Australia Inc at Djanbung
Gardens, Nimbin, as a fundraising event
for Permaculture Australia. Djanbung Gardens hosted the Australasian
Permaculture Convergence APC-7 in 1997. Since then the gardens have
matured to become an internationally significant example of permaculture
practice, education and training. The gardens
founder, Robyn Francis, was also founding director of Permaculture
International Ltd and Permaculture Australia.
