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
Meg McGowan defines Permaculture as an ethically based design pattern for creating integrated systems that rebuild ecological health while providing for the needs of people and all other life.
