It’s a new lunar year and POW is pumped to get Permablitzin’ again!
Don’t know what a Permablitz is? Check out some photos of a recent Permablitz in Braybrook here
Permablitzes are a one day working bee, in which an army of enthusiastic volunteers transform an average suburban backyard into a productive, low maintenance urban food forest!
Permablitzes are free events, open to the public, where you learn a lot, share food, get some exercise and have a wonderful time. See www.permablitz.net for more information.
Generally, to qualify to host a permablitz you should have come to at least three beforehand. This is both to stick to the model of reciprocity, and also so you know what you’re getting yourself in for. But we’ve had a bottleneck of people wanting to permablitz and not many blitz dates confirmed. So to get the ball rolling again, for a short time only, we’re keen to hear from people who want to host a blitz even if you’ve been to just one before… as long as you promise to come to a couple after!
