    Is Robyn Francis' 100th PDC a world first?
    How many has Geoff done?

    Party for the Planet
    Sat Jan 26th at Djanbung Gardens

    On January 26th everyone is invited to Djanbung Gardens to celebrate
    sustainable initiatives and people in action to mark the completion of Robyn
    Francis 100th PDC (Permaculture Design Course), January 11-25 and the 15th
    anniversay of Djanbung Gardens.

    This milestone, which many colleagues claim is possibly a world-first, also
    coincides with a number of significant anniversaries for Robyn: 5 years
    since permaculture training received national accreditation; 10 years since
    the permaculture training centre building at Djanbung was completed; 15
    years since work first commenced at Djanbung Gardens to transform an empty cowpasture; 21 years since Robyn founded Permaculture International Ltd in Sydney (1987); and 25 years since Robyn did a PDC and commenced her permaculture career.

    "This celebration is to acknowledge all the incredible work my former
    students are doing around the world, transforming the land, empowering
    communities, establishing community gardens, designing ecovillages, teaching in schools, TAFE's and universities, establishing ethical enterprises, working in areas of great poverty and need in Asia, Latin America and Africa, and as activists for the environment and social justice"

    The Party for the Planet celebration is open to the public, and former
    course graduates, permie friends and colleagues are particularly invited to
    come along as a reunion and to reconnect with each other.

    Sat 26th will commence with an Open Garden at 2pm including a tour of the gardens. There will be space for former students and colleagues to put up poster displays promoting their work, course photos etc. The evening
    celebration will include open mike sessions for short reports in between
    entertainment.

    Sunday 27th, the gardens will be open 10am-3pm for a permie reunion and networking.

    Djanbung Gardens is located at 74 Cecil St, Nimbin, just 300m past the
    showground.
