HOW TO... create a permacultural garden!

-



What did you organize, when, where and for how many people? 
I organised a permaculture garden design event. It was a presentation about permaculture and the activity is about the first steps how to start a garden. This event was organised on 8 of September in 2018. Only 8 people participated.
What were the main goals and objectives of the activity?
The main goals of the event were to understand what permaculture is, learning about the methods and the system, how nature works and how can we mimic natural processes in our garden cooperate with other species. I introduced the importance of the local food sources and I presented what are the first steps to create a permacultural garden.






 What were the main outcomes and results of the activity? 
This activity surprised me because the participants were open-minded and deeply interested. Everybody paticipated in the activities and they had lots of questions. The result is that most of the participants are planning to create their own garden according permaculture principles and they will spread about this eco gardening method.
Are there any other relevant aspects related to the activity, a conclusion or future plan?
I realised how important is spreading permaculture and I can start in my local area where I live. My plans fot the next year is to organise more events like this one and I want to invite more expert lecturer from this specific area to motivate more people to create their sustainable backyard. Moreover I am planing to create some videos and tutorials how to design and create permacultural garden.

What you organized, when, where and for how many people? We planned to organize a local swapshop and charity-bank kind of activity in our home town, Pécs. We started with a meetup for some likeminded people (an informal group called Pécsi Zöld Fórum) in May where about 20 people showed up and exchanged ideas in open space. 2 ideas came out as favourites, one of them the swapshop activity, which was then discussed in a smaller group, facilitated by me. What were the main goals and objectives of the activity? Providing a platform for like-minded locals to give away or swap surplus goods (from used household items to hand-made things or homestead products) where your time and skills can also be offered in exchange for items. The activity helps waste-reduction by reusing and shows a positive example of how to control consumption. What were the main outcomes and results of the activity? The small group came up with interesting ideas, we actually started swapping in th

What you organized, when, where and for how many people? I facilitated the Critical Mass Oviedo (June). This activity takes place every month, coinciding with the critical mass worldwide. Also, apart from the bike ride through the city, a documentary about the first Critical Mass was screened. It was held on Friday, June 1, in Oviedo and approximately 20 people attended.  What were the main goals and objectives of the activity? Since its inception, the purpose of the critical mass is to publicize the great advantages a greater presence of bicycles can bring in cities to mobility, society and the individual, to reduce the nuisance caused by motorized traffic: noise, pollution, traffic jams, insecurity. The idea was to raise awareness that those of us who travel by bicycle do not block traffic, we are traffic.  What were the main outcomes and results of the activity? The activity was very positive. After the documentary, there was a debate about what it means to be a cycli
