THIS PERMABLITZ IS NOW FULL-registrations are closed!
Location: Welcome Bay, register to find out where
Date: 18 September 10am-3pm
Andrea and Hone are a homesteading family in Welcome Bay, who have a passion for sustainable living and environmental stewardship.
They’ve worked hard over the years as a family to craft a landscape that suits them, and this PermaBlitz is the starting point as they begin a new stage on their property. They’re working hard to re-establish a riparian area of native plants for restoration and traditional rongoa-maori uses. They’re also keen to create a social space for the educational workshops they often host for community events.
This will be a good opportunity to see how permaculture can be applied in a variety of situations; learning about native rongoa-maori plants and uses, riparian restoration, and a permaculture design process in creating outdoor social spaces.
During the course of the day we will be focusing on:
- Traditional rongoa-maori plants and uses
- Riparian restoration
- Permaculture design process
- Creating functional outdoor social spaces
This perma-blitz can accommodate 15 – 20 people.
A main lunch meal will be provided by the host, and if participants are able to contribute a small snack/baking for morning tea that would be much appreciated. Please let us know if you have any allergies or dietary requirements.
