Back to Nunkeri Earth Healing Sanctuary
Project: Nunkeri Earth Healing Sanctuary
Posted by Linnie Lamb over 12 years ago
Having recently stumbled upon the permacultureglobal website, I am filled with a renewed sense of delight at the possibility of creating a really functional and edible food forest.
I have been pottering around what is Zone 1 and Zone 2 for quite a few years, and have popped in a fruiting shrub, perennial or tree here or there, and now, taking stock of Nunkeri's edible plant list, I am really very excited. There are some which have yet to mature enough to offer fruit, of course, but the vision.... ahhh :):):)
Having had a really close and aware look at what is going on in the garden has led me to realise that some plants need shifting to sites better suited for them. They've very kindly survived for a few years in less than perfect sites, but now we might have a happier space for them, given the changes that time brings to a garden. :)
We used to be very short of shade, given that this garden has been carved out of a cleared grazing paddock. Now that we have introduced pioneer rainforest species (this is a food forage garden for all of Numkeri's inhabitants :)), there are a variety of microclimates available, where once there was, essentially, 'hot and dry'!
There is still a wishlist of plants that we'd love here, of course (which keeps it exciting, huh? :)), but even with what we currently have, if we tend these plants well, we will, with time, have quite an amazing food supply, eventually with surplus goodies to share with others.

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |
