Welcome to 'our place' Eco-Event!
We're in the middle of pruning 1\,500 trees\, settling into our new home\, discovering our gardens\, making compost\, learning about living on the land and much much more. So\, no better time than now to have a tour of our 14 acre certified organic property as we share our discoveries with you.
We've invited a special guest\, Kath Irvine (the 'edible backyard' guru www.ediblebackyard.co.nz)\, to consult on our vegie and herb gardens. As novice gardeners ourselves\, we thought best to ask the expert.
17 July
9\:30am - 1pm
$20 per person
Farmageddon will immerse you right inside the story of a simple agrarian community in heartland China.
The weekend is centred around a purpose-built boardgame within which you'll grow crops\, harvest local resources and trade with neighbouring villages in order to nourish a growing family. It's no walk in the park!

Participants will learn the fundamental principles of designing and establishing an orchard or food forest for a range of sites and contexts\, from inhibited urban spaces through to lifestyle blocks. Learning from an expert in the field\, participants will be taught about the practical management required for plant health and productivity.

We will learn about the advantages and limitations of using earth as a building material\, how to test for suitability of local clays and how to prepare plaster mixes on site.
The workshop will have a very strong practical focus\, giving you plenty of opportunity to get a bit dirty and practice the newly learned skills.
We will be working on the Whare Uku of Te Mauri Tau\, a recently built mud brick workshop/teaching space that will feature exterior and internal earth plasters.
A 3 day workshop covering the basic level theory and practice of Biointensive gardening. Biointensive Growing is a system that has been developed by John Jeavons after over 30 years of studying the ancient agriculture systems that actually grew soil\, and great civilizations. He has used that knowledge together with his own extensive research to put together the Bio-intensive system\, which is about growing the most amount of food in the smallest area for the least amount of energy used (and water)\, in a way that everybody can do.

Made from locally pressed tiles\, beautiful spanning shapes are built without extensive formwork and at minimal cost. The designs of these dome shells work with pure compression and no reinforcement steel.
At Awhi farm a hand press is used to make the tiles out of our local materials of pumice and stabilized with cement.
We’ll explore ecological energy dynamics\, nutrient cycles\, and appropriate technology with Richard Lee. On Saturday afternoon we’ll visit Eco-Innovation with Michael Lawley to explore renewable energy. On Sunday we’ll explore how water moves through the landscape\, rainwater harvesting\, and strategies for utilising wastewater.
This Permaculture Design Certificate is run by Green Cloak in partnership with the Taranaki Environment Centre.
