Committee Meeting: Sunday April 18th 10.00am

Sunday the 28th March dawned bright and clear, a fitting setting for the day’s workshop of “Health from the garden”.

Our Mentor for the day Roisin Malone spoke with a maturity way beyond her years, and with a passion that comes from a firmly held belief in her topic. The strength of the turnout (34 people) was evidence that she is not alone in her passion.
Roisin has gained Accreditation in Permaculture through study with Geoff Lawton at Byron Bay, and is now backing that up with further studies in Naturopathy.

Information on Permaculture from Sara,
Permaculture is a word invented by Australian, Bill Mollison, meaning ‘permanent culture’. As the name suggests, permaculture is about living sustainably. Producing food locally, including in our own backyard, is an important part of living sustainably.
