Hello to everyone! This is my first post! My name is Antonino, I'm 36 and I'm on the 1st year of a Diploma of Horticulture (Nursery) here in Melbourne. The Diploma also includes Certificate III. I'm very interested in Permaculture and Native Flora. Is there a group that I can join in Melbourne? The course I'm doing is nice but unfortunately does not include many sustainable practices. So I have to do some extra studies by myself. I'm looking after courses and seminars on Permaculture. Can you please suggest me something? I'm a kind of person who prefer to be hands-on rather than reading on books. Is also here some Permaculture Nurseries that I can work at for a couple of days a week? Thanks for your help!!! Antonino
Hi Antonio, nice to see you drop by this forum! We talk on the SGA one too! You r in Melbourne still, yes? There are a few places to contact for doing a PDC (Permaculture Design Certificate)& information. *CERES *Edendale Farm (course alredy commenced but may have info) *Permaculture Melbourne *Mount Dandenong Permaculture (or something like that) *Holmgren Design Services (Lucky me, I'm visiting his place on a garden tour this Sunday! This info also available on his website) Should be able to find these by phone book or web-sites. :wink:
Hi!!!! Thanks!!!!!!! Hei but what's your name??? I never saw your username at SGA forum, what do you use there??? Thanks for the names, do you suggest a parlicular one or they are all good? I know Ceres, I also tryed to work there as volunteer but unfortunately i cannot go as the days they need people I'm at school, sigh sigh... Ceres is not very far from where i live but I'll check also the other websites. Ciaooooo!!!!!!!!! Antonino P.S. In which Nursery are you working at???
Isn't the 'Avatar a clue? I've been on this forum for years under a few different names, only because I stopped posting for a while, forgot my password & so had to choose another name! I tried the option to get help from the forum to log on again under my old names but I got no reply so I did the easiest thing & used a new name! Permaculture is truly where my heart lies & Sustainable Gardening Australia runs along thoses lines but also encompasses other sustainable gardening practices. The advice you got here on this forum about the tomatoes is excellent, I totally agree. I'm glad u found this forum,
