The Kite Garden: Play with Ecosystem Thinking is a transformative three-session series on March 26, 2026 (multiple dates), hosted by Together Culture Cambridge at the Free Press PH in Cambridge, England. This in-person permaculture garden event blends hands-on gardening with social science to teach ecosystem thinking for personal and societal change. Aimed at changemakers, community builders, and permaculture practitioners interested in regenerative systems beyond the soil, it explores how nature's patterns—permaculture zones, energy flows, relationships—apply to teams, communities, and global challenges. Sessions build progressively: Session 1 immerses you in the Prospect Row permaculture garden, learning zones, planting strategies, and nature relatedness while getting hands in the dirt. Subsequent sessions widen lenses to ecosystem perspectives, tackling tensions in work, community, or society through permaculture-inspired frameworks. Attendees learn practical skills like permaculture design basics, social permaculture for human systems, and inquiry practices to foster sticking change. Ideal for those weaving environmental sustainability with social innovation, it reveals how observing garden ecosystems unlocks new views on life and work. Value for permaculture practitioners lies in expanding design from physical to holistic—integrating people care via relational tools, enhancing projects' impact on policy, culture, and equity. Picture seasonal gatherings fostering deep connection, play, and actionable insights amid Cambridge's vibrant scene. Organized by Together Culture Cambridge, it promises accessible, refundable tickets and a supportive space bridging ecology and humanity. Emerge with frameworks to regenerate not just land, but social fabrics, embodying permaculture's full potential for a thriving planet.
