Design Edible Courtyards and Community Space – A Permaculture Design Workshop

Transform small spaces into thriving edible landscapes! Join passionate Permaculture Designers Lizzy Smith and Sam Hawker for an immersive hands-on workshop at the Canberra City Farm. This unique Permaculture Design Workshop invites you to explore the possibilities of turning courtyards, balconies and community spaces into productive, sustainable food gardens. Through a collaborative design sprint, you’ll work with other participants to develop creative solutions for urban food production, applying permaculture ethics and principles along the way. Under the expert guidance of Lizzie and Sam you will learn how to work from a design brief for an edible courtyard developed by Farm members. Collaborative, fun, no design experience necessary.
