Open Gardens
Open Gardens are the most satisfying way to spend time with like-minded people while you enjoy a tour around a dedicated Permaculture Noosa member’s property. The wisdom shared (usually as a result of trial, error and dedication) is incredible. Open Gardens are usually held on weekends and are a great social occasion, where various Permaculture techniques are shared and you go home TOTALLY inspired by what is possible.
The wealth of knowledge of our members is extraordinary, so become a member and join us at our next Open Garden. Our Open Gardens are a members only event.
If you would like to host an Open Garden at your property, email the Open Gardens Coordinators at info@permaculturenoosa.com.au.
The only prerequisite to hosting an Open Garden is that you are using Permaculture principles and are willing to take members for a tour around your property sharing the techniques you have used.
