#Permablitz
So what is permablitz? Whatever it is, or was, it was FUN! These are the ethics behind permaculture design: Care of the earth. Care for people. Fair share. They are ethics that reach way beyond growing things. A bunch of us came together early last Sunday (well, 10am) to help extend our low maintenance, productive and nature-friendly forest … Continue reading #Permablitz

Sunflower Summer Big Lunch
A successful day out on the Unwin and Friary Estate for the Big Lunch. 100's of mini kitchen veg gardens disappeared off the potting bench before lunch even got going. Although hardly anyone on the estate has a garden - a balcony if lucky, people were super keen to get growing healthy greens, coriander, mizuna … Continue reading Sunflower Summer Big Lunch
