Permaculture in New Zealand

Due to its unique geographical and climatic features the Auckland bioregion is one of the few places in the world where you can grow deciduous, citrus, sub-tropical and Mediterranean orchards in the same place. 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.

Council of All Beings
Friday Evening 2nd July - Saturday 3rd July, 2010

An inherent quality of any living system, including the communities and
bioregion in which we live is change, both gradual and immediate - It is
not a question of if but when. Resilient cultures and communities are
flexible and capable of responding effectively to uncertainty and
surprise as well as capturing and harnessing positive opportunities as
they arise. This workshop explores how natural and human communities
prepare, respond and adapt to change. Participants will undertake a
design activity that investigates strategies to improve the resilience
