Hey all, I’ve been a little quiet in here recently. I’ve been slowing but surely, in the small amounts of time that I have (father of 4 kids under 5), building the future of the LEARNING GARDEN. What’s on the way; COURSE: How to create a Learning Garden for schools - This course is tailored towards school teachers, administrators or members of school parents and community committees who already have and run school gardens or schools who want one and don’t know where to start. This is something I’m really passionate about and speaks to my desire to assist with setting up outdoor green classrooms around the world. I feel this is pertinent work as the global shift in education continues with the advent of Artificial Intelligence. COURSE: Permaculture Action Course - This course is going to be a structured, self paced and flipped learning journey for Individuals who are looking to shift to more sustainable ways of living. It will focus on the 12th principles of Permaculture design and is actually a course that I’ve taught before in person. I’m now translating it to the online space and will have multiple project and learning pathways for people to pursue. COURSE: The LEARNING GARDEN ACADEMY - This is a learner driven, project based, entrepreneurial academy that works w/ students as they focus on specific agricultural projects in their community. These project are intended to become micro-business ventures that make money and offer value to the community at the same time. This one I’m very excited about and will have more to say in the coming weeks. It will be mostly suitable for homeschooling families. Stay tuned for more! Anyway - that’s all I’ve got at the moment in terms of an update. If anyone has any particular questions about any of the above, please feel free to drop the question below and I will answer as best I can. ALSO - fill out the poll if you would like me to reach out and give you any additional info.

I’m curious about what everyone’s nursery set-up looks like or what your nursery practice is. Has anyone got a system and or some infrastructure that they have always used? Any practical tips that they want to share with us all? Post your nursery knowledge below 👇

What’s up errybody!? Today I worked at a childcare centre and installed a number of wicking beds. This contributed to the first phase of their brand new community food garden. I’ll be working here a little more in the future as I assist them with programming, planting and community engagement in the new year - stay tuned! Anyone worked with wicking gardens or community gardens before? Let me know in the comments if you’ve got any suggestions for planting or community engagement 👇

Hey all, I’m hoping to get a better idea of what sort of things you would like to see here in our community. Feel free to share below in the comments, things you would like to learn more about or see taking place here in the community. Ontop of this, I’ve been chipping away at a few things in the background and would like to give you guys a heads up for what’s to come; MORE LEARNING GARDEN TOURS! - I’d love to continue adding garden tours for members to derive inspiration from! Even if you have a small balcony or even a windowsill - this counts as a garden that people can learn from! Courses! - I’m working on filming a number of course that I’m super passionate about. I’m hoping that these are valuable for a range of people. See some of the courses I’m filming below; COURSE - How to start a school garden from scratch. COURSE - How to set up an urban nano-farm.

When it comes to learning, creating, or teaching, context is everything. Your context shapes the way you learn, the way you teach, the resources you have, and the unique gifts you can share with others. I’d love to get a sense of where you’re at right now — not to compare, but to understand the different paths we’re all walking. That’s why I’ve made this super simple poll — you just click the option that feels closest to your situation. No need to write a big post (unless you want to 😉). Your context matters, and by sharing it, we can start seeing how diverse and inspiring our community really is. 👉 Cast your vote below!
