Masterclass 47: Retrosuburbia with David Holmgren & Morag Gamble

You are warmly welcome to join this special masterclass with the co-originator of permaculture and the author of Retrosuburbia, David Holmgren. David explored with us ways we can relocalise our food system in the suburbs and why this is an area he believes holds so much hope for climate-safe, resilient and regenerative futures. David advocates for garden farming in the non-monetary household and community economies of gift and reciprocity and says this will have a big part to play in growing new urban food systems in the shadow of the old.

Here at the Permaculture Education Institute we offer free permaculture masterclasses on the last Monday of each month. This month we celebrated Urban Agriculture Month - an initiatve of Sustain Australia and we would love your company!
