Crystal Waters Eco Village has established its reputation as an important centre for Permaculture here in South East Queensland with its history going back over 32 years.
Robin Clayfield and Crystal Waters Community Cooperative will host a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) from 8th to 22nd August, 2021 with many Crystal Waters and other local Permaculture teachers, facilitators and guest presenters. Bruce Gibson is the Organiser of the overall logistics, website, bookings and admin for this annual course which is a fund raiser for the Community Cooperative and its village enhancing facilities.
The 2021 Course will be the first one where Robin has organized the program, presenters and kitchen goodness, having been a Special Guest in past Co Op Courses led by Max Lindegger and Bruce. Max wanted to start his own courses again and Robin, having presented over 30 PDC some years ago, put her hand up to carry on the Fund Raiser for the Co Op and to take up the brief to include as many local PDC teachers as possible. The August PDC will include several presenters with decades of experience in Permaculture, Sustainable Agriculture, Soils & Seeds, Organics and Design Principles.
There will also be delicious, healthy, mostly organic and locally sourced food where possible.
Presenters include Robin Clayfield, Annaliese Hordern and Steve Cran with Leanne Harper, Max Lindegger, Richard Mochelle and others as special guest presenters.
