It’s National Permaculture Day on May 1, 2011.
Apart from being a system of growing fresh food all year round, the rise of permaculture is also knitting communities together who help each other establish productive gardens and share knowledge, information and friendship.
The ‘permablitz’ is a perfect example of a philosophy of ‘care for the earth; care for people’.
