SUMMARY:Permaculture Design Course
DESCRIPTION:Based in Dodges Ferry and Hobart\, this part-time Permaculture Design Course is designed for all you folk who need to keep on working\, studying\, parenting and/or all round general living. Over a series of 3 chunks of time in January and February 2020\, you’ll learn how to design resilient and robust permaculture systems for your own (and others) lives and landscapes – all in the name of living a good life! \nCourse Dates\n\nJan 24th – 31st: One week full time at Okines Community House and Garden (free camping available). Students arrive 4pm on the 24th and course starts 9am on the 25th. \nFeb 15th – 16th: Two days at the Sustainable Learning Centre in Mt Nelson (no camping available)\, 8:30 – 5pm each day.\nFeb 28th\, 29th & Mar 1st: Three days at Sustainable Learning Centre\, Mt Nelson\, 8:30 – 5pm each day.\n\nI loved this course. It hasn’t just changed my outlook on life – it’s changed my life (Anita). \nTHIS COURSE COVERS…\n\n\nPermaculture ethics & principles\nDesign theory and practical application\nSystems thinking\nPatterns understanding\nWater management\, in the home and in the land\nSoil health: How to improve and maintain it\nCropping systems: food production\, seed saving and integrated pest management\nAlternative economics\nEnergy systems\nSocial permaculture\nFood forests\nSustainable building design\n\nJust wonderfully fun. So well coordinated (always on time\, always organised)\, experience of a lifetime\, truly life changing. Thank you so much (Nysha). \nGreat! A life changing experience and a very good start for living a more conscious life and be the change (Maria). \nWHO SHOULD DO THIS COURSE?\nThis PDC is for farmers\, urban gardeners\, perennial renters\, community development workers\, sustainability officers\, university students\, students of life\, market gardeners and big thinkers. Permaculture is relevant and useful to you whether you’re working in the paddock or in the office\, you’ll become equipped with thinking tools to design properties *and* the life you’ve always wanted! \nWHAT THE PDC IS NOT…\nFirst and foremost\, the PDC is a design course. It is not a hands on course where you actively get to grow food\, build a house or ferment food… Although we do get our hands dirty either fermenting food or getting into the garden. This means that while we will cover a large range of practical topis (i.e. building\, gardening)\, we will not focus on teaching you the practical skills for each one. Rather\, we’re committed to teaching you foundation knowledge for each topic so you can create designs which are integrated\, appropriate and darn clever. You can read about some of our previous PDCs here & here. If you’d like to learn how to learn some hands-on\, practical skills – have a look at some of the exciting short workshops we’ve got coming up. \nInspiring. Empowering. Life changing. I feel like the course brought together so many big picture things I had been worrying about and gave me a framework not only to make sense of them but to do something about it. This transformation from focussing on problems to having a positive and practical way to move forward is so awesome. I feel totally inspired to live in a more connected way\, starting with my home and community\, knowing that some amazing positive changes can flow on from this. Also great to connect with a bunch of likeminded people. So much fun. Thank you (Jessamy). \nAS PART OF YOUR COURSE FEE YOU RECEIVE…\n\nFree camping for the first week (BYO all your own camping gear)\n\n\nDelicious and nutritious vegetarian catering for the full course\nStudent notes\nField trips to local properties featuring clever design in action\nA one year membership to Permaculture Australia\nA whole bunch of new permaculture friends and networks\n\n“So wonderfully inspiring- the most practical and enlightening course I’ve ever done :)” Lucy. \nTHE TEACHING TEAM\nYOUR LEAD TEACHER: Hannah Moloney is a permaculture designer who works with urban and rural land holders to design landscapes that beautiful\, abundant and resilient. When not designing\, she’s running community projects\, gardening and being a guest presenter on Gardening Australia (in the first half of 2019). \nIn recent years Hannah has had the pleasure of working alongside some of the most celebrated permaculturalists in the world including David Holmgren\, Rosemary Morrow and Dave Jacke. In 2015 she was awarded the Tasmanian ‘Young Landcare Leader Award’ for her work with Good Life Permaculture and co-founding Hobart City Farm. You can read more about Hannah here. \nKat Lavers is a passionate gardener and sustainable food systems advocate. With a background in permaculture design\, teaching and facilitation\, her work reconnects people with the land under their feet\, and helps them experience the abundance of growing food as well as their role in wider ecosystems. She is the gardener and designer behind The Plummery\, a 1/14th acre urban permaculture system that produces almost all the vegies\, herbs\, fruit and eggs consumed by the household – 428kg in 2018! The site has been featured by RetroSuburbia\, Gardening Australia\, ABC Radio National Big Ideas and Happen Films. Alongside her freelance work\, Kat runs a sustainable gardening program for a local council and is a volunteer coordinator of Permablitz Melbourne. \nNick Towle is a passionate advocate for sustainability and permaculture and brings a diverse set of skills to the course including home-based sustainability practices and community economic systems. His most recent permaculture adventure has involved establishing the RESEED Trust\, a two acre urban property in the heart of Penguin (NW Tasmania) which is being developed into a permaculture demonstration site and sustainability education centre. \n. \n  \nAnton Vikstrom is a sustainability specialist with experience in urban agriculture\, renewable energy\, international development and energy efficiency. Anton completed his Environmental Science degree at the ANU in Canberra and GDip at the University of Sydney. His areas of study included Human Ecology\, Geography and Agro-ecology. His research Thesis was on understanding energy flows through urban agricultural systems. Since then he has worked with The Alternative Technology Association\, Cultivating Community and Tasmania’s very own Sustainable Living Tasmania. In addition to his deep professional experience he has a wealth of knowledge of practical sustainability\, from off-grid solar power\, carpentry\, and landscaping to brewing\, fermenting\, kite making and sewing. \nThanks for being awesome! Thanks also for the shared life-experiences/knowledge of the teachers. One thing that really stood-out for me was the “people care” of the students\, and everyone really\, throughout the two weeks. I have never before experienced this in the many workshops\, courses and places of learning/study that I have attended.

SUMMARY:Home Harvest Garden Tour
DESCRIPTION:One day\, ten edible urban gardens & you!\nWe’re thrilled to announce we’re working with Eat Well Tasmania and Sustainable Living Tasmania to hold the inaugural “Home Harvest” garden tour in the Hobart municipality!  Special thanks to the City of Hobart for funding this great initiative. \nHome Harvest is a one day event this March 7th\, running across Hobart where productive gardens open their gates to the public so they can look\, learn and get inspired to grow some of their own food.  Urban food production can happen anywhere and anytime. Whether you have a tiny courtyard\, a sprawling backyard\, are in a rental house or a family home; food gardening can be included to help build household resilience and personal health and wellbeing. \nHow do you get to go?\nBelow are a list of the ten gardens featured in Home Harvest. At the bottom of the page you can book in to the gardens you’re keen to see. You’ll then receive a confirmation email to secure your place. \nHow long does Home Harvest run for?\nMost gardens will be open from 10am – 3pm. HOWEVER\, a few gardens are only open at select times. Please take note of the ticket options which will provide this detail. \nGarden addresses\nWe’ll send through the addresses for each garden shortly before the day – plus any other relevant information for each site. \nThe Gardens\nBlue House Garden\, South Hobart\nOpen from 10am – 12:30pm \nThe Wells family: Based loosely on permaculture principles\, this garden contains mature and young trees\, nuts and fruit\, berries\, herbs and vegetables in season and bees and chickens\, worms as well as ornamentals. It is a messy garden but very productive. “In 2016 – the last time we attempted to record our produce – we produced close to 400 kg of fruit\, vegetables and honey and 300 plus eggs. We think we are probably exceeding that total now.” \nFern Tree Garden\nOpen from 10am – 3pm \n“We grow a variety of fruit including raspberries\, currants\, blueberries\, loganberries\, tayberries\, strawberries and vegetables (salad greens\, beans\, peas\, garlic\, rhubarb\, broccoli\, brussel sprouts) in an animal proof tunnel. We are also currently trying out large wicking beds in a poly tunnel with tomatoes\, eggplant\, capsicum\, watermelon and cape gooseberries. A potted herb garden near our kitchen has all the usual herbs. We preserve much of our produce and our aim is to provide food for our family throughout the year.” \nNew Town Garden\nOpen from 10am – 3pm \nA small (120m2) urban food garden in New Town. We grow 20 varieties of fruit using dwarf\, miniature\, double-graft and espalier trees\, vines and lots of berries for a year-round harvest. Raised and no-dig beds plus a greenhouse\, green-wall and containers produce most of our veggies. We also grow herbs and keep chickens for eggs. Originally solid clay where even weeds wouldn’t grow\, lots of manure and mulch have transformed it into a well-drained\, worm-laden\, abundant garden that provides a large percentage of our food needs within a very small space. \nGood Life Permaculture\, South Hobart\nOpen 11am – 2pm \nGood Life Permaculture’s garden is spread across approximately 3/4 acre less than 2.7kms from Hobart City. It includes two milking goats (Gerty and Jilly)\, chickens\, honey bees\, compost systems\, veggie garden and large orchards. This garden is on a very\, very steep property\, so working with slope has been a key design consideration. \n. \nPlease note\, the only access to this garden is via a very steep\, uneven 100m staircase.  \nSulyn’s Garden\, South Hobart\nOpen 10am – 3pm \nSulyn’s Garden is a tiny urban farm along the rivulet near Cascade Brewery in South Hobart which supplies local restaurants with just-picked herbs\, annual and perennial vegetables\, and a few tree fruits. Four goats keep the blackberry along the rivulet under control alongside a flock of free-range barnvelder and bantam Wyandotte hens. We’ve recently built a tiny Coolbot coolroom to help with refreshing and storing vegetables before delivery and people are welcome to view that as well.\nThe site is a sloping one with terraced beds and had heavy clay parent soil but nowadays it’s pretty friable and plant-friendly after 25 years of hot and cold composting\, worm farming\, and mulching with coffee grounds and woody waste.\n\nSource Community Wholefoods\, Sandy Bay\nOpen 10am – 3pm (public community garden)\n.\n\nSource began in 2008 on the Sandy Bay campus of the University of Tasmania when a team of sustainability-minded volunteers helped to turn a weedy and abandoned ravine into a thriving space that includes a strawbale and timber building that houses a cafe\, workshop and meeting space – all surrounded by a thriving community garden. We are a member owned urban eco-collective.\n.\nGuided by permaculture ethics and principles\, our garden features; terraced garden beds (with removable poly tunnels)\, a small orchard\, worm farms\, hot composting\, a herb spiral\, compost tea production and more.\n\nWendy’s Garden\, Sandy Bay\nOpen 10pm – 3pm \nThe garden evolved around established fruit trees including a fig and walnut\, with additional plantings including evergreens (citrus\, feijoa\, olive\, avocado\, passion fruit) for winter interest and bands of roses for colour. Food garden beds are patterned around the trees. A boundary adjustment added another fig and allowed more fruit trees and a large vegetable patch and berry cage. Prunings and waste are composted. Drip irrigation\, minimal digging\, meticulous weed removal\, foliar feeding and living mulches are employed. Pests include blackbirds (netting needed)\, cockatoos (hosed off to deter)\, rats (trapped) and codling and oriental fruit moths (biological control virus spray). Please note\, if you’d like a guided tour for this garden\, arrive on the hour – i.e. 12pm\, 1pm and 2pm.  \nLiz’s Garden\, West Hobart\nOpen 10am – 3pm \n“I live in West Hobart on a quarter acre block and have a small market garden and plant nursery. I sell my vegetables to local restaurants. I sell my plants in the front garden on a Sunday and at the all Saints Market in South Hobart on the last Saturday of the month.” \nAnja & Damian’s Garden\, South Hobart\nOpen 10am – 3pm \nAnja and Damian built their home 11 years ago and have worked hard to transform a bare block into a space for family\, food growing\, native garden\, bees and chickens!  Their most recent permaculture adventures have seen them install some cold frame beds and a deep litter system for their ‘girls’ (chickens) – alongside expanding their veggie patch to include more growing space.  The bees are at the front of our block and we are still learning about compost but trying hard…!  We would love to welcome you to our space and hope our inspiration can become yours too. Please note\, this is an internal block and parking is along the road. \nGaby’s House\, South Hobart\nOpen 10am – 12pm and 1pm – 3pm \n“My garden is mainly a food productive garden\, I have fruit trees\, berries\, a large asparagus bed\, composting and worm bins. I like to experiment with food plants that are not normally grown like sweet potatoes\, purslane\, some indigenous plants \, some edible weeds. I grow lots of herbs that I cut and supply a market stall with. I have oregano\, marjoram\, curry leaf\, several thymes\, chives\, mints etc. Also have a small hothouse where I grow a small banana plant\, pineapple and some date plant seedlings for fun.” \n

SUMMARY:Free Q&A With Sandor Katz!
DESCRIPTION:\nWe’re thrilled to be partnering with the Hobart Brewing Company to host Sandor Katz for this free public Q&A. Come on down to take part in a rare yarn about ferments\, food culture and the future. What a treat! \nWhether you’re a long time fermenter or are yet to even try\, this evening will be the opportunity to hear from one of the world’s modern day fermentation leaders.

While she currently has no goats on her farm\, she spent 7 years farming goats naturally for meat\, milk and to manage a range of weeds on her farm include gorse and blackberries. She is a wealth of practical knowledge and has a rare depth of information on everything goat. \nShe recently sold her goat herd to Fat Pig Farm where they now spend their days eating blackberries. You can see her talking goats with Matthew Evans talking  on a recent episode of The Gourmet Farmer here. \nHannah Moloney runs Good Life Permaculture where she’s the lead educator and permaculture designer. For the past two years\, she’s also been doting on two toggenburg goats – one of which she milks daily in central Hobart. She brings the unique experience of urban goat keeping\, has worked through numerous challenges of sourcing food\, health and fencing. All of this can be applied to any domestic “house goat context” in both rural and (some) urban locations. \n  \nFOOD\nThis workshop includes delicious and nutritious lunch from the Fat Pig Farm kitchen. You’ll feast on seasonal produce straight from their farm. We can’t really describe how good their food is (it’s really good)\, so you’ll just have to come try it. \nVENUE\nWe’re holding this workshop at Fat Pig Farm in Glaziers Bay.
