We were excited to welcome Permaculture elders David Holmgren and Sue Dennet to the Canberra Environment Centre in June 2025. Despite the wintery evening setting the event sold out to 55 eager permaculture enthusiasts who came along to connect and converse.
David and Su shared stories and experiences from their many years of permaculture education and advocacy. It was great to dive into some history and also to look forward as we face the challenges of a changing climate, with practical ideas and thoughts raised through the conversation and questions.
There was also plenty of opportunity to mingle, meet and connect to like minded people over a delicious shared super catered by Sam Hawker from Garden Kitchen Witch'n.
We can't wait to see what sprouts forward from the connections made and seeds planted by the rich conversation of the event.
Thank-you so much to David and Su for squeezing us into their speaking tour schedule and Lizzy Smith from PEAS (Permaculture Education ACT & Surrounds) for facilitating the conversation.
