Permaculture with David Holmgren and Morag Gamble
About this episode
In this fourth episode of Sense-making in a Changing World, I am delighted to welcome Dr David Holmgren, co-originator of permaculture to explore how permaculture can help us practically navigate these challenging times and create locally resilient communities.
Grab a cuppa and enjoy this wide ranging conversation. It is always a delight to talk with David!
David lives at his permaculture property, Melliodora in Hepburn, Central Victoria, with his partner Su Dennett. Here's a video of Melliodora that featured recently on ABC Gardening Australia with Costa Georgiadis.
David's most recent book is the incredible manual, Retrosuburbia: A Downshifter's Guide to a Resilient Future. There's a pay-what-you-feel digital download available too and study materials to work with your local community and an active Retrosuburbia facebook community you can get involved with.
