2013 PERMACULTURE CALENDAR REVIEW

2013 PERMACULTURE CALENDAR REVIEW by Rob Bartrum Founder of the New Zealand Regional Permaculture PagesYes, it's here - this is your calendar for 2013 - and I'm not talking about photos of a bunch of fluffy kittens, celebrity vampires, or naked firemen. This one I'm happy to have grabbed from my letterbox because it would easily be the most useful and inspiring calendar I've ever come across - it's the very appropriate, definitely gift worthy, and what I like to call "honest" 2013 Permaculture…See More

"Nice photo. Handy little wasp! Easy to see the blackbirds, but worth taking the time to take a closer look sometimes."

Like many people I've had a real concern and interest in environmental issues and ecology - ever since I was a young boy.

I excelled at Biology and Horticulture at College and went on to gain the North Shore Horticultural Award and complete a Dip in Hort. Sci. I completed a Permaculture Design Course at Rainbow Valley Farm in 2009 with Darren Doherty. I'm also a trained chef and keen on nutrient dense food.

Permaculture has tied things together for me - it's completed the once elusive loop that I (and a lot of people) have been looking for. I now own my first home and manage my highly productive 1/4 acre urban permaculture farm called Makino Food Forest. I offer tours and various permaculture related courses to the wider community.

While my site provides various enterprises for sale and trade opportunities, I offer permaculture consultancy and assistance - while also being an active volunteer with native habitat restoration and permaculture oriented community projects.
