Michaela and  Matt have been working to make her mother Lyn’s house a self-sufficient paradise. Lyn is currently unemployed after a long career as a factory worker and more recently a full time carer. Michaela and Matt became interested in permaculture a couple of years ago and realised that Lyn’s empty backyard was a valuable resource that could not only give them the joy of a space to garden but help food healthy organic food on all of our plates.

So we’re going to help them make this dream a reality!
