Jessica Perini works as an editor and a writer by day, specialising in sustainability projects, but she spends every other waking moment on her passion: permaculture. Jessica earned her Permaculture Design Certificate via Milkwood in 2010 and Certificate IV and Diploma through TAFE NSW from 2011–2013. She teaches, facilitates courses and runs working bees at her local community garden and is a regular Farm Hand at Sydney City Farm. She’s designed and run gardens and programs for vulnerable communities, including asylum seekers.
She loves to facilitate online learning about permaculture and has appeared as a Renew Expert in Sustainability and run #TheGreatPause zoom series, which sought to keep communities connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
