Your teachers:

Rosemary Morrow trained in agricultural science at Sydney University, rural sociology at the Sorbonne in Paris, development at Reading UK and horticulture at TAFE but, after spending time in Africa, she realized there needed to be a better alternative to conventional agricultural practices. She found this in the ethics and integrated applied science of permaculture, and has been teaching permaculture ever since. She is the author of numerous publications including Permaculture Teaching Matters, The Earth User’s Guide to Permaculture, which has been translated into many languages, and The Earth User’s Guide to Teaching Permaculture.

Brenna Quinlan is a permaculture illustrator and educator. She has taught on PDCs all over the country including those by David Holmgren in Victoria and Milkwood’s PDCs in NSW. She has taught Permaculture Teacher Training alongside Rowe Morrow and Hannah Moloney, and is part of the Formidable Vegetable Grow Do It Permaculture Education school teaching team. As an illustrator, Brenna’s work can be seen in David Holmgren’s Retrosuburbia, Milkwood’s online course and book, Ross Mars’ Life in a Garden series, and Costa Georgiadis’ Costa’s World.
