I completed my PDC with Geoff Lawton and Bill Mollison in September 2012. I'd been studying a Bachelor of Environments at Melbourne University, but there was always something fundamentally missing in my experience with mainstream gardening as well as in academic and activist environmentalism.
The moment that Geoff said 'permaculture is a combination between art and science' I knew I'd found something.
I did an internship at PRI Australia (Zaytuna Farm) in Nth NSW with teachers incl. Geoff Lawton, Nadia Lawton, Kay Baxter and Paul Taylor.
I followed that up with an internship at Koanga Institute (PRI New Zealand), With Kay Baxter.
I am always looking for more experience and can offer support with:
-Small urban design
-Broad acre design
-Earthworks design and surveying
-Regenerative rotational cattle grazing
-Nutrient dense vegie gardens
-A variety of composting systems incl compost toilets
-Designing and establishing food forests for temperate and sub-tropical climates.
-Soil remediation and management through biological fertiliser and soil pro-biotic.
-Seed saving
-Horse property design
-BioIntensive Gardening
-Topbar Beekeeping
