Personal Details

About Me:

International garden & landscape designer, & otherwise a property manager, horticultural consultant, craftsman gardener, surveyor, estate manager, environmentalist, ecologist, teacher, property sourcer, lateral thinker. Currently working to support small farmers in Kenya to obtain and sustain amazing yields and successful enterprises.

Green Idea:

I am very keen to encourage the concepts of permaculture globally; and not just in underdeveloped regions, but in the wealthy too. I am focusing on how to create a profitable economic model for permaculture that will encourage its assimilation by people who earn a living from land conventionally. I am developing this model through social enterprise principles. Early days yet. I would be glad to hear from anyone in whom this resonates. www.permaculture.org.au

Interests:

anything to do with life, nature, natural forms of health, and the unwrapping of the cotton wool that clouds so much of human thinking.

Favourite Movies:

but on the other hand none. if they inspire, though, all youtube videos by bill mollison and geoff lawson on permaculture., lots, they're good. i can recommend

Favourite Books:

Favourite Celebrities:

no way. however, any videos by bill mollison are well worth watching, if you want real insights into global sustainability.
