Food Forest Hui – September 26-28

Submitted by James Samuel on 10 August 2013 - 5:22pm | updated 10 Aug 2013 | Blog entry

Ten of the best permaculture designers from around the country, are converging on Auckland from September 26th-28th to offer New Zealand’s first three day Food Forest Hui and Training.

If you hold a permaculture design certificate (or have extensive experience in this area) and are interested in learning more about how to design and implement food forest systems, and to help create short courses to share with others, then don’t miss this event.

Register your interest now and we’ll be in touch.

Why forests of food

While moving slowly around the country over the last few weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of engaging in dialogue on this subject with over 200 people at public meetings and in small groups. It’s clear that there is a tremendous increase in the number of people wanting to know more about how to put these food forest ideas into practice.

Transition training

Submitted by James Samuel on 28 January 2009 - 10:18pm | updated 28 Jan 2009 | Blog entry

It was a very full four days, and I am still processing what was given and am deepening my appreciation of the lessons. All 18 of us who came together at the Earthsong community to take the Transition train-the-trainer course, expressed deeply felt gratitude to Sophy and Naresh in the closing circle. I was left wondering at the speed at which Transition is being embraced in NZ and how much the TT movement has grown in just one year.
