Join us for an evening of conversation and questions with Permaculture elders David Holmgren & Su Dennett.

This event is your opportunity to ask what you always wanted to know from the co-founder of Permaculture, David, and to quiz Su on homesteading skills and building community-based food systems.

We will discuss:

Practical ways to apply these principles to your own life, whether you have a small balcony or a sprawling property.
Explore the transformative potential of permaculture in building a more resilient, equitable, and regenerative world for all.
The Canberra region and all the amazing projects being achieved.

This is an essential discussion for anyone interested in environmental sustainability, conscious living, and creating positive change in their community

Who are David & Su?

Since then, David has developed three properties, consulted and supervised on urban and rural projects, written eight more books, and presented lectures, workshops and courses in Australia and around the world. His writings over those three decades span a diversity of subjects and issues, whilst always illuminating aspects of permaculture thinking and living.
