Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning Dynamic Courses, Books, Resources and Tours for Healthy Groups, People and Culture with Robin Clayfield
There’s a magical and nourishing event that happens monthly in Maleny called the ‘Maleny Seed and Harvest Swap’.
Robin was invited to be a guest speaker after the swap session during one gathering last year and has been going regularly since then to the swap.
It’s the most awesome system. People bring anything they have surplus or to swap from their gardens, lay it out on the tables, then at 9am, everyone wanders around and takes what they want or need. More people come in later, place things down and the gathering continues.
People bring produce, plants, cuttings, flowers, eggs, honey, dried herbs, seeds of course and you never know what else.
Robin brings potted edible plants, bunches of greens from the garden, surplus produce, most recently chillies and passionfruit, dried herbs like Perilla, Horsetail, Peppermint and seeds that are in abuncance.
Her presentation on the first occasion was about Perennial and Self Seeding Plants for an Abundant Permaculture Garden. Dom Tati came to be her helper and drew some delightful pictures of plants and flowers for the Species Lists she wrote up for people to photograph. The lists were just of current plants being harvested in her garden at that time of year.
On the 27th of this month the people who go to both the Seed and Harvest Swap and the Maleny PermaBlitz will be coming on a 3 hour tour to Robin’s garden. Please feel welcome to come along. Meeting in the Crystal Waters Village area at 9.45 to carpool into the Lot.
