Incredible Edibles: Cultivating diversity and resilience in your subtropical garden

I hope to catch up lots of old friends there, and meet many more. I’m particularly looking forward to catching up with Costa from ABC Gardening Australia again. He helped launched the University of Sunshine Coast Moving Feast Gardens on World Environment Day two years ago, and also ran a great session at the Real Food Festival with our School Kitchen Garden kids from projects around the hinterland.

Morag Gamble

My name is Morag Gamble and I am living and working a permaculture life. I live an ‘Off-the-Grid’ lifestyle in a permaculture village near Maleny in the subtropical part of southeast Queensland, Australia with my husband and 3 young children.

We designed and built our modular eco-home – with much appreciated help from my family. We are mortgage-free and live simply. Our income is derived from permaculture-related activities. We grow a lot of vegetables, herbs and fruit in the polycultural garden-playground surrounding our home. We collect our water, deal with our wastewater on-site and produce most of our own power.

I love this way of living and I love bringing my children up in this environment. They are Nature Kids and they are learning vital skills for resilience, compassion and future problem solving through our ecological unschooling approach.

I am also passionate about how this way of life can make a positive contribution to society and support ecological regeneration.
