Grow Our Own Food – Autumn 2024

Let’s Grow Our Own Food!
It’s healthier, cheaper & more fun than shopping.

GOOF (Grow Our Own Food) is a series of 5 workshops on how to grow food sustainably, cleanly and productively. You will be able to apply what you learn to balconies, backyards, community gardens or local schools. The interactive workshops are a mix of useful information and practical strategies with lots of resources to back up what you will learn.

GOOF will show you how to design, set up and run your own sustainable garden in alignment with the Ethics and Principles of Permaculture which are based on the cycles of nature.

The GOOF series is generously sponsored by the City of Parramatta. We appreciate their support.

GOOF Autumn is presented as a live, interactive, 3.5 hr workshop over 5 Saturdays from 0900 – 1230. Each workshop is a mix of captivating information and practical experiences which build on and complement each other.

Your fee covers all 5 sessions and includes:
17.5 hours of interactive lecture/discussion/ practical activities; a PDF copy of the slide deck used by the presenters; references and resource list, activities for you to try out between each workshop.

The GOOF series is presented by knowledgeable and experienced permaculture teachers who live the ethics and principles of Permaculture in their own home and community
