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.

Just a quick reminder that the next permablitz is this Saturday December 16th at Holmes St Estate in Northcote.Holmes St estate is a public housing high rise for people 55 years and over. A beautiful community garden was completed at Holmes St a year ago including raised garden beds, a pond, an orchard and a gazebo - built by Garden of Eden with funding from Department of Human Services.  We want to hold a permablitz at Holmes St to assist with some of the tasks that the older gardeners find too difficult - weeding in common areas, compost bay maintenance. Expertise in fruit tree maintenance would also be appreciated. We can also do some mulching and a general tidy up. We might also create some more ground level beds to enable some of the more agile residents of the estate to get into gardening.   Cultivating Community will provide a BBQ lunch but please feel free to bring food and drink, seeds, seedlings, cuttings etc and garden tools, friends, family - or just yourself. A great chance to meet some wonderful older residents of Northcote who have some amazing stories to share!  For more info contact Peter Johnston on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it   or 9481 1870/0419 750 365.When: From 10:30am, Saturday December 16Where: 1 Holmes St, NorthcoteContact: Peter Johnston on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it   or 9481 1870/0419 750 365Best and hope to see you there,Permablitz Decentral
