Permaculture Central Coast
We are an enthusiastic group of volunteers that work together to encourage more people on the NSW Central Coast to learn, practice and teach permaculture.
We want to inspire people everywhere to get more permaculture happening on the ground.
What is permaculture
“Permaculture is a design system for creating regenerative, sustainable human settlements”. The term, coined by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in 1978, blends ‘permanent agriculture’ with ‘permanent culture’ to emphasize living in harmony with nature.
