Fiona has been a keen gardener, bushwalker and rewilder for most of her life, but finally committed to a PDC in 2021 (with a side course of holistic decision making) through the trials and tribulations of lockdowns. She is currently studying a Diploma in Ecosystem Management to transition across to a full time offgrid life with two different farm businesses in development. Using the retrosuburbia real estate checklist and a strong holistic decision making frame, she found the perfect retrofittable (affordable, miracles of miracles) 1/2 acre in the Pyrenees for herself, the rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks and chickens. Fiona is now renovating the 1940s farmhouse for passive solar design, and deep into a year long 'observe and interact' phase while the land unfolds its secrets to her- all part of creating a great permaculture design for the little ecosystem she now belongs to.
