Want to turn your backyard into a thriving, vibrant habitat that gives you more food and needs less work the more it flourishes? Heard about 'food forests' but living in a rental and not ready to put down roots?

Join Morag Gamble for this summer Shed-ucation Session on how to design and grow a forage garden.

A forage garden is resilient, robust and abundant edible garden based on permaculture principles - the veggie garden version of a Food Forest (the permaculture orchard).

A forage garden is elegant simplicity that produces more food each year with less work as the living system emerges. Your garden will activate the soil food web, draw down carbon, increase nutrient density, reduce your ecological footprint, and create an amazing habitat for you, your family and other species.

This is an online event, held on Zoom. A recording will be made available for our registered pals afterwards, but we recommend tuning in live so you can ask questions!

About your host

Morag Gamble is a global ambassador of the permaculture movement and a planetaria [pr]activist.

Morag explores how we can live more peacefully and simply so that we may thrive together on this beautiful blue planet. She is a speaker, podcaster, author, blogger, filmmaker, designer and educator.

For the past 25 years, as a Global Permaculture Ambassador, Morag Gamble has led programs in 22 countries. Permaculture design education is what she teaches in communities and universities around the globe - recently at Schumacher College in England, and the Yunus Centre at Griffith University.

Morag lives amidst an award-winning permaculture garden in a UN recognised permaculture village, and works with city farmers, school and community gardeners, and educators. She sees the direct social and ecological impact of industrial farming on marginalised farming communities around the world - in Indonesia, India and currently in East Africa, particularly with refugee settlements.

Morag is the founder of the Permaculture Education Institute with students on 6 continents, and the Executive Director of the Ethos Foundation, a small permaculture charity which funds a youth and women to run free permaculture education and livelihood programs. She co-founded Northey Street City Farm, the Australian City Farm and Community Garden Network and the award-winning global Permayouth (with her daughter).
