Permaculturists are welcome here to learn about off grid living, as we are totally unconnected. Also we are a gift economy free site, so they are welcome to come and stay for free, no exchange. They can also take away free plants and cuttings to spread the perrenial edibles, spread the food forest!

Sharing ideas with fellow urban permaculturalists

16 - 19 September 2015

Marlborough is a small market town, nestling in the Wiltshire Downs. We'd love to show you what three years of transition and urban permaculture has done for our town. Since Marlborough is just a bike ride from the World Heritage site at Avebury we have included a visit to the Neolithic Stone Circle and Kennet Long Barrow in the tour. Visits to Shumei Natural Farm, a foraging walk and energy-efficient houseboats on the Kennet-Avon canal, are also planned.

Shropshire & Edges Permaculture Network (SEPNET) offer hospitality and a tour of five varied & fascinating permaculture sites in and around beautiful rural Shropshire

Wednesday 16 September - Monday 21st September 2015

Open to hosting a permie or three in August and 16th September onwards. Either on a WWOOFing basis or a day visit with a meal. A tour of our allotments/polytunnel/chickens/orchard is always good fun - half a day's worth at least, more if we put the visitors to work!

WWOOFing dates to suit.

We would offer volunteers an insight into life in Slaithwaite in the beautiful Colne Valley. By day we would work together on Edibles' projects, for example, scything, harvesting & processing produce, building a cob veg store, restoring our hugel bed, improving our passive polytunnel irrigation, mulching new beds etc. In the evenings we would organise a range of events - talks from local sustainability projects, guided walks, film and pizza night, social events (going to the pub, local folk club etc.).
