The get together started out with a brief committee meeting. We are hoping to organise an outing to a farm out Kilkivan way where it’s been regenerated using native flowering plants – see the photos at the bottom of this post. More information on this will be sent out this week. If you’re interested, it’ll […]

New day, new time, new venue! I’d love some comments from those that went as to what you thought of the afternoon. I thought it was really good. The Community Gardens is shaping up to be a lovely space to be and I for one prefer the idea of being outdoors to inside! We started […]

Our recent AGM was supported by a small group of enthusiastic permies. The Management Committee is mostly unchanged, however we have a few more general committee members and a change in format for the Events Co-ordinator role, which has now changed to a small sub-committee. We also decided to trial a change in day and […]

Our committee meeting was held before the group meeting. Some of the discussion points of interest were: There was quite a good number of people who braved a drizzly, cool night to come along to the meeting. Plenty of plants and veg at the harvest swap too! Lani has plenty of cassava if anyone wants […]

This month’s harvest swap was well patronised! Some lovely eggplant and cabbages were part of the swap, with plants, eggs and citrus as well…..oh and so many moringa seeds – I haven’t planted mine out yet, but will very soon! I usually plant them in small pots, but this time because I have quite a […]

This month’s meeting began with a brief summary of the Off-Grid Expo. While we did have good takings from the event, around $1200, it was questionable whether it’s worth the commitment and the travel. It’s also very hard to plan the growing of seedlings over the winter months, to get seedlings of a reasonable standard […]

The Gympie Permaculture Group had their regular gathering at the Art Gallery – held on the first Monday of each month. The committee met before this and the following was discussed: Offgrid Expo at Goomeri on the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd of September. We’ll need volunteers – 4 people for 4 hour shifts. […]

We recently held the AGM for the group. We had planned a nice, relaxed potluck dinner, followed by the AGM and election of new office bearers. Unfortunately, there was a little hiccup with not having a key to the meeting room, but the good part was that it didn’t rain so we managed to eat […]

The Gympie Permaculture Group had their regular monthly gathering this week (first Monday of the month). The committee met prior to the group meeting and discussed the following: Then onto the round table discussion – the opportunity to share knowledge, ask questions and learn many things! Damien once again came ready with questions: He was […]

Another informative gathering was held at the Art Gallery, with few newcomers to the group, which was great to see. The gathering always starts with the Harvest Swap and this one was overflowing with strawberry runners and sweet potato slips – which was handy as it’s a good time to plant both. Fruit, veg and […]
