[permaculture-oceania] garden at school

[T Rutherford]

HI Kylie,
The ABC Gardening Australia program have  a DVD 'Patch from Scratch'  with Peter Cundall, who demonstrates crop rotation in this. I think its excellent and it sounds as though it would help you  get started.   
 A school in Queanbeyan have something similar going to your plans; if you call Debra Bell Queanbeyan council  she will be able to give you the phone number and the teacher involved in this, I can't remember his name...  
good luck with it all it sounds fun, Teresa

  g'day all... 
  myself and a colleague are in the process designing an alternative year nine programme to begin next year for our school. we're moving our students off campus to an operating church premise and have been given (relatively) free range in terms of the grounds. one of the things i would be really keen to see happen is the students developing a permaculture garden within the grounds that they might design and implement. i'd like to see this providing food for community meals and to give to people within the wider community where the campus is based. 
  i have very little experience or knowledge and was wondering if some of you could share some ideas or point me towards good sources of info/resources etc. i think my folks did a mollison course years ago and i probably have a book i could dig out, but any help with ideas etc. would be very gratefully received. 
  i'm in the geelong area.
  thanks heaps in anticipation,
  kylie
