Hello,

Permaculture is more than a design system based on observation of natural ecosystems. It provides a frame work for considering how we live and how we can live better. It considers how everything interacts in our home, our community, what we eat, how we grow it, where we work and how we contribute to our community. When we become aware how each of these areas of our lives interact, and the potential to improve them to make everything work together in a sustainable way, life feels good!
Bellbird Urban Permaculture Farm lies on the rich creek flats of Lake Macquarie just out of Newcastle, Australia. All on our third of an acre we grow a range of herbs & vegetables, perennial & bush food plants, and produce eggs from our call ducks & heritage chickens. Our produce is for sale at our farm gate stall and local farmers markets.
Get creative and join us for a workshop in the art studio. We run half & full day courses in Natural Textile Dyeing & Natural Cosmetics using the plants & herbs in our garden & locality. Upcoming courses can be found at www.michelleleilani.com
How can you grow so much in so little space? Starting in 2018 we will be offering urban farm tours and short day & weekend courses in permaculture and sustainable food production for the backyard grower. Join us to learn more about efficient design for urban spaces and how to grow your own beautiful nutrient rich food.
