I’ve just received details on the upcoming launch of the Permaculture Sydney South group:

Permaculture Sydney South is the regional permaculture group covering the central, southern and eastern Sydney region. Currently it is made up of several local group hubs – City, Eastern suburbs, St George, Sutherland & Inner West. Come to celebrate our official launch with Geoff Lawton and join one of our local groups.

Geoff Lawton, international permaculturist has travelled the globe for almost 30 years, sharing the teachings of permaculture with individuals, families, communities, cities and nations. His consistent application of permaculture principles has transformed environmental, social and economic systems globally.

Hear about the same principles that Geoff applies in diverse settings: from greening the desert in Jordan & transforming Macedonian refugee camps into self-reliant communities to designing sustainable cities in the Middle East and The Americas.

When: Tuesday 18 August 2009. 6.45 for 7pm-9.30pm, supper provided.

Where: Leichhardt Town Hall, cnr Norton and Marion St.

Cost: Free for Permaculture Sydney South members, otherwise $10.

RSVP: Thursday 13 August 2009 via email to vicki.f@hotmail.com

Membership: Phone Peter 0412679215 or email Vicki vicki.f@hotmail.com

I’m not a member of the permaculture movement (yet!), so I’ll be going along to find out more…
