Film #2: Permaculture Community Garden with Morag Gamble (9 minutes)

Yesterday I visited and filmed at another abundant permaculture garden – the lush Yandina Community Gardens on the Sunshine Coast, QLD Australia. Wander through the gardens with me in this 9 minute film. Our Permaculture Life: Yandina Community Gardens.

Yandina Community Gardens are a wonderful example of community permaculture and a vibrant community hub. The cob oven team was busy yesterday feeding volunteers who helped to make their recent Open Day a great success. I was MC at the open day with Jerry Coleby Williams of ABC Gardening Australia and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thanks to all the amazing people who volunteered their time to make it such a great opportunity for community connection and education, and to celebrate permaculture.

If you enjoyed that, take a look at my other short films:
Film #1: Our Permaculture Life: My Permaculture Garden(33 mins)

Film #3: How to Make Comfrey Tea with Morag Gamble (4:52mins)

During the celebration of community at the Yandina Community Gardens today I made this little film to share with you.

There’s lots of fun for kids here too. Check out their website for some great plant info and recipes too – www.yandinacommunitygardens.com.au

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.
