Mt Evelyn Permaculture Community Garden Opportunity
Are you a permaculture designer, horticulturist, gardener, or someone who would like to be involved in a permaculture community garden in Mount Evelyn?
Between the 15th to 24th of March, Permaculture Week is being celebrated throughout Victoria, and Permaculture Yarra Valley is hosting a free event on Monday 18th March at 6.30pm, for about an hour, to discuss a Permaculture Community Garden in Mount Evelyn.
Permaculture Yarra Valley is a registered not-for-profit association with a bio-regional focus on the Yarra Valley. They are entirely organised and led by volunteers. Permaculture is a design system that is applied to develop sustainable communities by creating access to food, water, energy, shelter, medicinal plants, and social connections in a nature-inspired way.
The meeting will discuss the proposed permaculture-designed community garden, brainstorm ideas, and there will be a walk-through of the site (address to be shared once you register for the event).
