Permablitz Crew
The Permablitz crew have been designing and putting in lush, edible gardens across Melbourne for the past two years. Between them they have worked in post-tsunami Aceh, India, New Zealand, and across Australia’s various ecological zones. They have designed sustainable small-scale local food production systems for a 10-acre property and an inner city balcony. Permaculture is an integrated design science, and food is just one part of the Permaculture equation. The crew design for and integrate water, energy, waste, shelter, community, local community, governance and all other aspects of sustainable living. Permablitz get excited about turning Melbourne into a luscious and edible urban-jungle food forest!
