I would just like to share the story of the Greater South Eastern Permaculture Group and its community garden. The GSEPG has members from Cranbourne, Berwick, Dandenong, Doveton, Narre Warren and surrounds, Endeavour Hills etc. This group is where people from the City of Casey and surrounds can meet online to share their permaculture related questions, thoughts, tips, articles, photos and more.

It is also where people can organise to share resources, swap excess vegies, meet up to make jam or preserve food and generally connect with like minded people.

Recently we became involved with a garden in Narre Warren North and are establishing the Narre Warren North Community Garden. We aim to slowly change the established garden beds so that they use the principles of permaculture to save energy, water and improve the soil. We will be having a hot composting workshop at the garden on Saturday September 8th and we meet there every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 10 am to 12 noon. The people who work in the garden are free to take some of the harvest and the remainder is sold in the opportunity shop attached to the church.

Aymeric's turn...

Hello everyone,

I am launching the Arcadia International Environmental Film Festival to be launched mid 2012 simultaneously in over 25 major cites worldwide. We plan on screening at least 15 movies, with additional short environmental documentaries. The focus of the festival will be on environmental protection, food security, social inequalities, climate change, pollution and activism. The aim is to enlighten and empower individuals and communities globally to take actions, together, to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

Arcadia believes in working together for this shared vision. This festival is of crucial importance for socially responsible businesses as they have now an incredible opportunity to showcase their great products and services by supporting one or more events.

The project has already received the support of leading world renown environmentalists such as Indira Naidoo, Tim Silverwood and David Kennett from Australia. Other various environmental organizations are whole heartedly supporting us, including Yann-Arthus Bertrand, from France, with the screening of his award-winning documentary HOME.

More about it on this page. Please share this in your own networks, thank you!

Aymeric
