Our Permaculture Design intensive is currently underway with Morag Gamble. The participants are hard at work redesigning Yandina Community Gardens’ space to demonstrate how to live sustainably using Permaculture principles. We are enjoying a journey of rediscovering our beautiful gardens, their potential, smells, soils and much much more.

Exciting hands-on 4 session Permaculture Intensive at YCG with Morag Gamble

25/06/2018 By

Who should attend this workshop

Anyone who would like a quality, quick, hands-on workshop on Permaculture design or who would like to brush-up on some of the aspects of Permaculture design.

About the Permaculture intensive workshop

Yandina Community Gardens are about to embark on an exciting journey of redesign and would love to invite you to participate. This hands-on Permaculture intensive will take place at the Gardens a thriving community hub and educational space, but we think it is time to review the design and rethink how we weave permaculture into all aspects of what we do.

This is a chance for you to be part of the evolution of the gardens. With the experienced codesign facilitation of Morag Gamble, together we will create a fabulous design for this community education space where the principles of permaculture can be clearly seen and excellent examples of permaculture design, holistic thinking and sustainable living function together as a cohesive whole and are visible throughout.

We are co-creating a world-class permaculture education demonstration garden and you are warmly welcome to join in. No experience is necessary – just an open willingness to:

• imagine a positive future

• listen to the land and others

• enjoy learning and sharing ideas together

• think and design creatively together

This is a great opportunity to deepen your knowledge, understanding, and practice of permaculture thinking and design. You will feel more capable to be actively engaged in the ongoing development of the community gardens and have so many excellent ideas to apply to your own garden too.

This is a 4 part workshop led by Morag Gamble.

PART 1: SEEING THE GARDENS WITH FRESH EYES – 4 AUGUST, 9 am – 1 pm

Together we will observe, explore and reflect upon the purpose and design of the gardens. We will do a deep dive into the permaculture ethics and principles and take a look at some creative inspiration. By the end of this session, we will have undertaken a site assessment, needs analysis and created a permaculture wish list for the gardens.

PART 2: RESHAPING THE GARDEN DESIGN – 11 AUGUST, 9 am – 1 pm

In a collaborative design studio setting, participants will refine the permaculture element selection, map out zones, connections, and flows, and create a draft concept design for the gardens.

PART 3: DESIGNING THE DETAIL – 25 AUGUST, 9 am – 1 pm

With a clearer idea of the elements and broad patterns of the site, this workshop will be a collaborative design studio to develop detail design ideas and systems for the site.

PART 4: THE NEW DESIGN PLAN – 8 SEPTEMBER, 9 am – 11 am

The collection of design ideas, plans, and strategies that emerge through the first three sessions will be woven together and presented back to the group as a cohesive design.

Together we will walk the site, check the design, tweak it and reflect on our process and learnings.

We encourage you to participate in all four sessions. It will be like completing a practical mini-PDC intensive and change the way you interact with, understand and connect with this amazing community, community space and your spaces at home.

Booking is essential, numbers are limited.
