Welcome

Welcome to permablitz.net - this site has been set up to help people get together and have fun learning about, designing and implementing suburban permaculture systems.  Our focus is edible gardens, and our ultimate aim is to make the suburbs edible enough such that should food become unaffordable, we don’t even notice.  See below for the next permablitz and feel free to submit your own onto the calendar.  Check out photos of blitzes 1-6 here, and photos of more recent blitzes in our gallery.

Permablitz Numero Ocho: A Description of the Day
Written by dan   
Thursday, 28 September 2006
Its a little tricky trying to write up a reportback on our permablitz because on the day I was so overwhelmed and exciting with all the people and action, i can't actually remember what happened. Its like when you try to remember an amazing dream after waking, but can only capture little pieces of it. But our beautiful garden beds in the shape of a sunset (imagine a semi circle of lawn with beds kinda shining outwards) are testament that it was a success... as is the new hot house made of bricks and salvaged windows, filled with seed trays and the occassional baby rainbow chard... as are the clam-shell ponds growing water parsley and water chestnuts and a few other things that i can't identify.

"What you guys have created is more powerful than the gardens you have made, it is the concept of the permablitz... the idea that landscapes of lawn, shrubs, concrete and dog mess are not the pinnacle of human achievement, but are an odd manifestation of an age with more oil than sense, and the idea that we can change them, and we can change them fast. Out with the lawn and in with the salad!" Rob Hopkins, originator of the Transition Network
