| The Permaculture Gardens and Friday Morning Busy Bee
|
 | Permaculture is a concept of design that uses the principles of organic growing in an holistic garden system. It involves a commitment to sustainability and encourages individuals and communities to become involved and responsible for their environment, as an alternative to just a "use and throw away" mentality. |
| Permaculture also involves a commitment to the connections between people. Our gardens were designed and built by young unemployed people through a youth training incentive, Landcare and Environment Action Programme (LEAP), in 1996. |  |
| Many of the participants are still involved in the continuation and growth of the Earthwise gardens on a cooperative basis. |
| The garden is a place for the public to see and enjoy. People are welcome to wander through and touch, smell and taste something fresh. |

| A busy-bee is held every Friday in the gardens of Earthwise. Volunteers are encouraged to learn about permaculture and to put into practice the principles of organic gardening. This is followed by a light meal of coffee cake and fruit.
