Celebrate International Permaculture Day with an evening’s exploration of local, national, and international efforts addressing climate change, care-for-country and community resilience with Costa Georgiadis of ABC’s Gardening Australia.
Featuring local produce, The Moodji Futures Dinner will be MC'd by Paul West (ABC South East; River Cottage AU) and will be catered for by Kelly Eastwood of Eastwoods Deli and Master Chef fame.
Marking Costa's seventh annual visit of local sustainability projects, the event also coincides with a regional tour of activist and singer/songwriter, Eugenio ‘Ego’ Lemos and his East Timorese choir. Costa and Ego will have just attended the national Permaculture Convergence in Adelaide.
The Koru Lian ‘the voice and sound of’ Timor Choir will sing-in the evening prior to Ego, Paul and Costa profiling efforts in social, economic & ecological innovation.
With the generous support of Bermagui Surf Life Saving Club and the Federal Government’s Black Summer Bushfire Fund the discussion will also showcase the nation-wide insights of Danielle Griffin, Philanthropic Services Manager of the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal.
Bringing a local voice to the table, Richelle Jackson of The Good Dairy Co will also share her family’s aspiration to model ‘beyond sustainable’ land management, animal care and regenerative industry.
The following day will see Costa co-facilitate a range of garden workshops, tree planting and hands-on activities at Bermagui Preschool’s Moodji Farm, “Expressions of interest are currently being canvassed to present-in-the-patch with the-human-hedge”, says events convenor, Dan Bakker of Eat Dirt Permaculture.
“Experience is not mandatory at all. Be you a champion of chooks, a cracking composter, a savvy seed saver or a wild grass weaver - all folks of any interest are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible”, says Mr Bakker
