Permaculture Manchester . . . lets put some green on the urban scene

Designers' workshop

A weekend of permaculture design in practice

A short talk at the Friends Meeting House, Court Road, PR9, to the Southport Transition Town group.

"If only carrots grew on trees" - growing food isn't all hard labour: digging, weeding, hoeing, feeding. Growing perennial plants gives you food for next-to-no effort. Add in choice of plants for their architectural form, leaf textures, and flower & fruit, and edible landscaping gives you far more rewards than traditional veg growing.

All it takes is a little design, and a little plant knowledge. Richard Smedley's short talk shows Southport Flower Show goers where to start on their journey to abundant & beautiful landscapes.
