📅 November 15, 22 & 29, 2025 | 📍 Guyra, New South Wales, Australia | 🏷️ workshop
Cool Climate Permaculture 2025 is a series of hands-on workshops held at the Guyra Neighbourhood Centre Community Garden across three Saturdays (15, 22 and 29 November 2025). The program teaches practical permaculture, organic methods, regenerative agriculture and agroecology tailored to cooler-climate regions. Attendees will learn permaculture design principles focused on obtaining yields from kitchen gardens, techniques for mushroom cultivation, converting garden and household waste into resources, greenhouse and glasshouse strategies to extend the growing season, seed saving, preserving and fermenting, and practical harvest skills. Sessions include demonstrations, participatory activities (for example taking home a mushroom-growing kit requiring a 5 L bucket with lid), opportunities for shared locally sourced lunches, and community-building to connect New England growers and curious learners. This series is suitable for home gardeners, beginner and experienced growers, foragers, community gardeners and anyone wanting hands-on skills to create resilient, self-supporting gardens in cool climates; it is less aimed at purely academic learners and more for those seeking practical, place-based skills and local networking opportunities.
