SUMMARY:RetroSuburbia Book Club for Melbourne's West - planning session
DESCRIPTION:Want to get together with other fans of David Holmgren’s Retrosuburbia\, taking it chapter by chapter to see what changes we can make or celebrate (and share) in our personal contexts? Come join Permaculture Out West (POW) for a planning session so we can work out the details – how often\, when and where we meet etc. \n\n\n \n\n\nCheck out RetroSuburbia Community and the Files tab\, where Steve Burns has generously posted his book club notes for others to use or adapt. That will give you an idea of how we might approach things\, or where we might step off from. \n\n\n \n\n\nWe’ll meet at the Footscray Park Bowling Club  at 7.45pm for a brief chat til 8.30pm. Other groups will be using the space for their meetings as part of the Community Assembly (a monthly gathering of groups & individuals). The get-togethers are open to all – so feel free to drop by earlier. (Eg\, there’ll be an information session from 6.30pm for anyone interested in joining the Melbourne Repair Cafe (Inner West) as a fixer or helper.) \n\n\n \n\n\nRSVP welcome here. Email inquires can go to POW.\n\nFeel free to bring something to nibble on and share. Drinks will be available at bowling club prices. Parking for bikes and cars are on-site – use the entrance off of Hoadley Street. The venue’s address is 1 Hoadley St\, Footscray.

SUMMARY:POWer bee in St Albans - come help Mick & Terri prep the garden for Sustainable House Day
DESCRIPTION:Mick and Terri are opening up their house for Sustainable House Day in mid-September and would love POW to come a week earlier to help prep the garden. POW will also be there on SHD (on 16 September) to promote the group\, prompt people’s curiousity about permaculture and encourage people to become committed permies. You’re most welcome to come for the POWerbee and return for the SHD festivities! \nABOUT MICK & TERRI’S PLACE \nMick and Terri have recently installed a large PV system with batteries which they’ll be showcasing along with their permaculture garden. This is where you come in… \nImagine this: nestled under the power lines in St Albans is a delightfully overgrown garden on a large block complete with fruit trees\, vines\, chickens\, bees\, worms and veggie garden and even a large greenhouse growing a variety of aloes and other plants. A veritable oasis of Permaculture. \nWell…actually…that’s what it should be. In reality\, the weeds have taken over and the veggie patch has seen better days. So the cunning plan is to come together and help Mick and Terri do a bit of a tidy up\, fix up the veggie beds\, plant a few more fruit trees and lay out a bit of mulch. The tasks for the day: tidying\, planting\, mulching and planning for Sustainable House on the following week. \nAlong the way\, you can learn about beekeeping\, planting and maintaining fruit trees and any of the aspects of the property including the chooks\, greenhouse\, irrigation\, renewable energy and a host of other topics. \nIf you can bring a shovel or a wheelbarrow that would be very helpful. Lunch will be provided but you are also invited to bring a plate. Kids of all ages are welcome and feel free to relax afterwards with us for a pleasant Saturday afternoon. \nRegister here to attend the (free) POWerbee so that lunch catering can be organised: https://powerbee-2018stalbans.eventbrite.com.au. \nABOUT SUSTAINABLE HOUSE DAY \nFor more than 17 years\, Sustainable House Day (SHD) has provided a great opportunity for hundreds of thousands of people to visit some of Australia’s leading green homes – ones that are not only environmentally friendly\, but cheaper to run and more comfortable to live in. SHD gives visitors a chance to inspect firsthand houses that have been designed\, built or renovated with sustainability in mind as well as the opportunity to talk to owners and receive unbiased advice. \nSHD is an event of the Alternative Technology Association (ATA)\, a not-for-profit organisation that exists to enable\, represent and inspire people to live sustainably in their homes and communities.
