It’s been a busy May here at VEG, with lots of design and implementation work on each week.  On the permaculture design front, we’ve had some interesting design requirements, like filling up a backyard with vegies, berries, chooks and fruit trees whilst allowing access right through the middle of the garden for an extra wide Shelby Cobra Hotrod.  Yesterday we were asked to combine a three-hole golf course with the vegie garden.  Right up there with the time we were asked to design in prickly shrubs to discourage prostitutes and drug pushers from loitering in the adjoining alley!  Permaculture design is never boring…

We’ve had a few stalls at Festivals, including the Stonnington Sustainability Expo (a cold clear morning with Amanda huddling behind our new design banner!):

We’ve also been doing some multi-bed vegie garden installations the last few weeks, and here’s a few photos of a garden at a senior citizen’s centre in Kensington:

In goes 13 cubic metres of soil…

and after a path it’s time for some vegies!
