My home garden

Project Type

Urban

Project Summary

A garden that supplies all my needs and reflects my family’s cultural heritage.

Project Description

The aim of my garden is to create a place which supplies all my needs and reflects my family's cultural hertiage. I have topiary elephants that reflect India, a Chinese circular gate, a dancing stage and of course an art studio.

About 80% of the garden is being used for growing food. The first thing I did was to convert the swimming pool into a fish farm. I have silver perch and freshwater mussels. While I am still learning on how to manage this for better production, having a fish farm is much more useful to me than a swimmming pool.

I have chickens, ducks (they never go in the pool- they prefer a bucket of water!) and rabbits.

For my waste I have worm farms, composting and the animals.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
