Permaculture Design Certification

Here is our wild permaculture crew proudly holding up our Permaculture Design Certificates. For the last two weeks we've all been busy "at school" planting, designing, and planning for a better world. I realized I'm already doing a lot of things within the permaculture design (originally developed by fellow Aussie, Bill Mollinson, by the way) - but now we can do so much more! Next week: a giant FOOD FOREST! I have the basics, but what fun to add coffee and watermelons, sugar and jackfruit. The sky's the limit - and Huelo's breezes and salt air of course! How encouraging to meet such a wonderful group of people who are totally passionate about sustainability! I'm off to dig lots of holes!!!!

  1. Hi Sharyn!
    Sounds like you are doing great work at Huelo Point! I would love to come back one day and see the progress. Shanone and I completed our PDC's in October and are growing lots of veggies and herbs in our winter garden. I am designing for friends, family and referrals, one of which will be on a green garden tour in April. I recently planted new fruit trees at home and am most excited about the 'Pink Lady' apple tree, a low chill variety from Aus. Looking to get some chooks soon too! Say Hi to Jeff and Kai. Best wishes for a successful growing season.
    Peace, Jacky

  2. "Aloha" Jacky & Shanone!!! The chicken tractor you built is still thriving. We've moved it four times at least since you've been here ... and it's now in the middle of a thriving "food forest". Come back and pick the cherry tomatoes! The avocado has doubled in size and we now have a pineapple patch on one of your "tractor" spots! "Mahalo" for joining us for the month ... and ... come back soon!
    hugs
    Sharyn
