In April, we'll be hosting a Fungi Futures webinar talk on mushrooms and how we need to collaborate for a more balanced future. People will get an overview of how mushrooms can be used as materials, medicine and food in our lives. The webinar will take place on an evening soon to be announced, featuring a 1 hour talk by Alicia Dudek from MycoReality followed by a Q&A. We will record the webinar and share it with everyone on the PNB Facebook page. The webinar will take place on Zoom, which is easy to connect to with an internet connection. More details of this are to come.
In July, we are hoping that the scheduled Mushroom Masterclass can be held. This event will be a full day hands-on class of making mushroom buckets. We will make announcements closer to the date on the website and Permaculture Northern Beaches page.
We are hoping that with great community collaboration and government initiatives, the current Corvid-19 outbreak will be contained and our monthly talks/workshops will be able to proceed again soon.
At these testing times, people in our community are increasingly becoming interested in living sustainably such as keeping backyard chickens and building vegetable gardens. There is no better time than now to pick up the phone and talk to neighbours, family and friends, about the skills and knowledge permaculture living can provide them. A great start is to have them look at happen films short film on the backyard garden The Plummery in Melbourne Growing large amounts of food in an urban backyard.
Permaculture Northern Beaches has a pivotal role in educating and supporting our community in the transition to a more sustainably abundant future for all. We look forward to being able to create workshops that are both informative and inspiring while connecting others in our community to the ethics and principles of Permaculture. Please get in touch on our website if you would like to help in any way. Contact Permaculture Northern Beaches.
Look out for our future workshops this year on food security, reducing energy use, chemical-free homes, supporting biodiversity and maximising both our physical and mental health.
Stay Safe, Help Others, Enjoy this time in your Garden.
Happy Growing
