Good garden design, based on permaculture principles, makes an edible garden more resilient in the changing climate.
But before you start designing, walk the land first, get to know it: where does the sunlight reach in winter and summer, how does rainwater flow and where it collects, what are the prevailing winds?
Learn how to incorporate this information into your design. Then plan how to harness solar energy, rainfall and employ biological control in order to create a sustainable garden. A short, two hours workshop will give you confidence to start planning.
Moss House also provides garden design services. Please contact us for more details.
Good morning, I’m just enquiring about any courses you are running this year. I’ve just seen your segment on an old Gardening Australia show and would love to learn more.
Any information would be welcome.
Hi Angela,
You can see all the workshops available to the public on my website and Facebook page, where I post them 4-6 weeks in advance.
Are you interested in something in particular?
Hope to see you at one of the courses!
Cheers
Margaret
Hi Margaret
When are you running the next Mushroom Hunt and is your garden open to visitors.
Regards
June
Hi June,
The 2020 wild mushroom season has ended with the first frosts beyond the Blue Mountains, so you need to wait for February/March 2021.
The Moss House garden is usually open to the public in March for Sydney Edible Garden Trail, in May for Permaculture Day and in September for Sustainable House Day. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Sustainable House Day organisation has decided to make the September 20th opening a virtual event. On the day I will stream live and recorded tours and workshops, and post videos from the garden.
Hope to see you online or face-to-face next year, when the mushrooms return!
Cheers
Margaret
