INVITATION
Slideshow with Ian Lillington International Permaculturalist
Wednesday September 5th 7pm
at The Farmhouse, Canterbury
- What is Permaculture?
- What issues are facing us now?
- A Permaculture journey through what is happening in Hong Kong in a rapidly urbanising country and Australia
Ian will have signed copies of his book 'Holistic Living, An Introduction to Permaculture' and hot of
the press: 'Permaculture Pioneers' which has just had its UK launch at the National Permaculture Convergence.
Just turn up.
FREE - donations
Ian has a strong active interest in Community Food growing and all things Holistic. He is an author and permaculture activist, from Castlemaine,
near Melbourne, Australia. Ian works as an educator and designer of
sustainable homes and land systems and is involved with the Mount
Alexander Sustainability Group, the Growing Abundance permaculture
project, the local Transition project, and with teaching Permaculture
Courses. In 2007, he published a book called The
Holistic Life – a Beginners’ Guide to Permaculture. It is very exciting to have him come to Canterbury and I hope to see you there.
His book The Holistic Life - “An accessible and up-to-date introduction to permaculture, full of colourful illustrations. Covers food, building, community, appropriate technology and the conservation of resources and tells inspiring stories from all over the world. A great addition to the library.”148pp from http://permacultureprinciples.com/resources_holistic.php
More about Ian...
I first met Ian in 1992, he was the lead Permaculture teacher on the Permculture Design Course I did. He went to Australia shortly after this and has been involved with all sorts of interesting projects and is highly knowledgeable about things going on there, in Hong Kong and in the UK......
Ian
has a BA (Hons) in Geography from Liverpool {England}; two Diplomas
of Permaculture (one through the Australian Accredited training
system and one from the Permaculture Institute); and Adult Education
qualifications.
Ian
helped establish city farms in England in the 1980's, which led to
contact with Bill Mollison (he ran workshops on City Farms there in
1982) and also to work at CERES, Melbourne 1986/7 and 1989.
From
1992 - 96 Ian taught PDCs alongside David Holmgren in Central
Victoria and in
the mid 1990’s Ian and his family built a solar/eco home from
rammed earth and re-cycled materials in South Australia. Ian has
worked for the National Centre for Sustainability around Australia,
and with Greener Houses, a project that has carried out eco-retrofits
of suburban community centres in Melbourne.
Ian
is one of thirty permaculturists that have co-written “Permaculture
Pioneers” – which had its UK launch at the Convergence. Although
Aussie-based, many of the contributors were born in and/or teach in
the UK. The book “explores
social and inner change for sustainability, charting a history of the
first three decades of permaculture, through the personal stories of
Australian permaculturists. From permaculture co-originator David
Holmgren, to ABC Gardening Australia presenter Josh Byrne, the
authors span the generations and the continent.”

Dear All
Sadly, The Farmhouse has closed and will no longer be able to host our event next week.
Firstly, if anyone knows anyway we can support The Farmhouse within our network then lets do it! It sounds like they have not gone forever but plan to find another venue. There are so few venues supporting local people and local musicians in Canterbury, we need them as much as they need us! And they have been incredibly supportive of our activities over the years.
Secondly, we need another venue next Wednesday evening that can host this free in exchange for donations, drinks? It feels important to keep this event free if we can and there is not much time left. Any ideas please email me ASAP. PLEASE!
Thanks Jo
