Scott started The Permaculture Podcast in October 2010, the same week he completed a Permaculture Design Course with Susquehanna Permaculture. Originally interested in interviewing gardeners, homesteaders, and land-managers as a way to extend his permaculture education, this gradually shifted towards the emerging edges of permaculture beyond the landscape.  Show Notes:Earth Restorer's Guide to Permaculture, by Rosemary Morrow: https://us.permacultureprinciples.com/product/earth-restorers-guide-to-permaculture/Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability - Revised, by David Holmgren: https://us.permacultureprinciples.com/product/principles-and-pathways/

When sitting down with a storyteller like Rosemary Morrow for a series of open conversations about her life and work that spans decades, and results in more than 10 hours of recordings, it's never clear what will emerge. Today's episode is a great example of that, as in a few moments while we discussed other things, Rowe mentioned working with the folks at Perma Queer and shared her thoughts on how to use one's position, role, and respect within a community to make space for marginalized voices, and the importance of inclusion in permaculture as part of the teachings.

Episode 169: Is Permaculture the best option that we have to meet the demands of an unpredictable future? In this lively conversation with Rosemary Morrow, Margie Bushman, and Wes Roe, we discuss the potential Permaculture holds in restoring degraded ecosystems around the globe.  Rosemary Morrow is a Permaculture designer, teacher, and earth restorer. She is the author of numerous publications including Permaculture Teaching Matters and The Earth Restorer's Guide to Permaculture. Rosemary is the co-founder of the Blue Mountains Permaculture Institute and Permaculture for Refugees. We hear about Rosemary's work in places she calls crowded margins- including refugee camps and areas greatly impacted by climate change. We learn why Rosemary still believes that Permaculture is the most valuable tool we have to in Earth restoration. We chat about the importance of the Permaculture ethics (Earth Care, People Care, Fair Share), some of the challenges of Permaculture, and the biggest misconceptions people have about Permaculture design. Margie Bushman and Wes Roe are the co-founders of the educational nonprofit the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network and founding Board Members of the Friends of the International Permaculture Convergences (FIPC).

For nearly 40 years, Rosemary's work as a teacher has brought permaculture directly into the lives of her thousands of students. As an author, she has touched innumerably more. As her students became teachers and other teachers used her works in their classrooms, her ideas and methods continue to ripple through the world and reach even more. With this reach, her work touched has touched my own, first as a student, through her book Earth User's Guide to Permaculture, and later as an instructor, when I used that book as one of the student texts for the course paired with the companion book to that, Earth User's Guide to Teaching Permaculture. Now, we celebrate Rowe's newest book, from Melliodora Publishing, Earth Restorer's Guide to Permaculture, with a series of conversations covering her thoughts on the breadth of permaculture as a practice, interwoven with stories from throughout her journey. To start things off, I knew a lot about Rowe's writings, but not about her early life, how she came to permaculture or her career as a teacher and author. So, we begin where so many interviews do on The Permaculture Podcast, with a conversation about her biography and background, which includes some insights into the development and growth of permaculture over the years, the kinds of character and teacher Bill Mollison was, and how Rowe reframes permaculture education into a local, lived experience, whether she's teaching in Australia, Vietnam, or Cambodia.

As we close this conversation and prepare for the others which will follow, I'd like to re-extend the invitation for you to answer Rowe's questions:  What is your country?  Do you speak a language from there?  Do you know how the indigenous peoples lived on that land?

Permaculture is a way of growing food that works with nature, to minimize waste and to use energy, water and human labor efficiently. It requires careful observation of the natural landscape, to determine how to best use the available water, land, sunlight and climate to achieve abundant harvests. In this program you’ll meet a remarkable woman, Rosemary Morrow, who has taught permaculture principles literally all over the world, and who has adapted them to work in war-torn places, and even in refugee camps.

Permaculture was originally a word made up of the two words ‘permanent' and ‘agriculture'. Now it is seen as a common sense approach on the ways that we can work with, rather than against nature Today we talk to Rosemary Morrow about some of the Permaculture strategy's being employed in the Blue Mountains of NSW, and how we can do more individually and as a community. 'Let's Do This' acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which we record - the Gundungurra and the Durag. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Has Permaculture Changed Your Life? That's the question I asked and these are the answers emailed to me the past few weeks. I also mention folks like Rosemary Morrow are her work and I talk about my own story at the end but the focus this week is on your stories, and if you have one to share: please email me and I will do my best to share it.

Such a deep honour to have my dear friend and very first ever podcast guest Rosemary ('Rowe') Morrow from the Blue Mountains Permaculture Institute back on the show (after being my very first ever guest!) sharing her permaculture journey over four decades this week. Some of the topics you'll hear in this truly wonderful chat are Rowe's: new in-progress bookthoughts on the adequacies and inadequacies of permaculture issue with most permaculture being taught to middle class westernerswork in refugee camps and other largely invisible margins which are rapidly growingthoughts on designing yourself into your place vs designing yourself out of overseas places you workchapter on a permaculture approach to the oceansthoughts on decolonisation and re-indigenisingthoughts on the essence of permaculture Please note after our chat Rowe asked if I would please share this link about supporting a permaculture project addressing the Humanitarian Crisis after the burning of the Moria Camp on the island of Lesbos. Image source Rowe also mentioned Milkwood's Permaculture Living Skills course which you can check out here. Photo from a project in Lesvos Rowe was part of

Today on Sense-Making in a Changing World, I am thrilled to welcome Rosemary Morrow - a respected teacher of permaculture teachers around the world, an elder in the Permaculture movement and author of the permaculture classics, Earth Users Guide to Permaculture, Earth Users Guide to Teaching Permaculture and Permaculture Teaching Matters. Rosemary is also the cofounder of Permaculture for Refugees.I would call much of what Rosemary does permaculture service work - offering permaculture education in some of the most challenging regions of the world - because that is where it is needed most. She has worked in places like Cambodia, Bangladesh Timor Leste, Kashmir, Uganda, Afghanistan and the Middle East and she only goes where she is invited. This is the 2/3 world - the 'edgey' places of society where permaculture is so valued for surviving and thriving with little. Permaculture on the edge is the theme of her most recent writings to be released as new chapters in the updated version of her book.In our conversation Rowe and I explore permaculture education from so many angles. She sees its potential is profound and its application universal. Now, more than ever, she says we need to be teaching permaculture everywhere, and she encourages us to explore how to keep our permaculture thinking alive as we face an ever-changing world with cascading disasters like fire, COVID-19, climate change and economic collapse.I hope you enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Rowe as much as I did and are inspired to deepen your permaculture knowledge and widen your permaculture teaching reach, and support new permaculture teaching communities to grow everywhere.

In Pip podcast #23, Pip editor Robyn Rosenfeldt chats with permaculture pioneer Rosemary Morrow about her latest work teaching permaculture to refugees. Along with a dedicated team of permaculture teachers from around the world, Rosemary is teaching permaculture to people in some of the harshest living conditions on earth, in Kabul, Kurdistan, Malaysia and Bangladesh, to name a few. These refugees are often in camps for ten to twelve years with no purpose and nothing to do. By teaching them permaculture she is giving them hope, knowledge, purpose, pride and the ability to grow food and not be totally reliant on rations.

Rosemary Morrow has dedicated her life to getting information to people who are very poor or can't get the information otherwise. By information she means Permaculture knowledge - the tools to dramatically improve the lives of her students. Not long ago, Rosemary traveled to Kabul, Afghanistan to teach a group of young peace activists Permaculture. The course was supposed to be via Skype, but the connection was so bad that Rosemary decided to pack her bags and go to a town in the middle of a war zone most people are trying to flee from. That is the kind of woman I got to interview for this podcast. During our hour long conversation we touched on the following: Education in Agricultural Science Working in Africa and realizing that agricultural science is not relevant to people who are hungry Finding Permaculture The author Rosemary Morrow Co-Founder of the Blue Mountain Permaculture Institute in Australia Rosemary's recent teaching trip to Spain, Portugal and Italy Her work in war ravaged countries starting in Vietnam, Cambodia, Uganda and Afghanistan among others Training the teachers Working with refugees Eco villages for refugees World Vision Ted Talk on Architecture that is build to heal Teaching monks in the Himalayas Being cultural appropriate What can permaculture do for the coasts and deltas Sustainable cities Our own actions and their impact Social Permaculture The Blue Mountain Permaculture Website Please visit our website for more links and a more detailed blog post.

Today's episode is a permabyte review of the forthcoming book by Toby Hemenway, The Permaculture City. Exciting, isn't it? Toby Hemenway has a new book coming out and I'll just go ahead and say it: it is incredible. I received an advance copy, clocking in at 288 pages, from the publisher Chelsea Green and, even though I'm a slow reader, sat down and read the whole thing, cover to cover, in a day. What I like about this book is that the way it is written and organized reminds me of my own permaculture path. In the beginning there is an examination of the ethics and principles and why they matter. Then there is an look at design and considering techniques, but then stepping back and to organize our thoughts with the tools provided by the permaculture design process. To re-examine the elements and how they relate to systems. As that understanding grows to take another step and use small examples, such as water systems, to expand our thoughts further and realize there is more to this work than just the land and includes the people involved with caring for it, for maintaining it, and that those living communities matter. They embody why we care for Earth, care for people, and share the surplus. As importantly Toby also addresses the real fact that we can't expect everyone to become hunter-gatherers again or subsistence farmers. Even if we could that idea isn't reflective of the resiliency that permaculture design engenders. Using resiliency as a basis he uses several examples, including home and community gardening, water, and energy use, as informal case studies to explore how to apply the principles to step back and ask bigger questions so we can create useful strategies. This last point is important because, to me, The Permaculture City is a book about better understanding our design strategies, those often nebulous ideas that separate the philosophical underpinnings of permaculture, the ethics and principles, from the techniques that represent the physical practice that all of our on-paper design results in. There is time for techniques when we implement, but that can only come after consideration and design. For those of you familiar with the Zone and Sector design models in permaculture, they are both upon throughout the provided examples. I was left with a new understanding of how to apply these, especially to social systems. Chapter Nine in particular, on Placemaking and The Empowered Community, took me in a whole new direction. Though I've used these methods repeatedly in the past after seeing them applied in the context of the various examples I come to agree with what Larry Santoyo says, which is quoted in this book, “Sectors trump everything.” I'm now going back and examining some of my designs, including landscape, social, and economic, to see where my sector analysis may be weak. My thoughts on permaculture moving beyond the the landscape started several years ago when I interviewed Dave Jacke, Larry Santoyo, and Mark Lakeman in short succession. Reading this book has helped to continue my shift in thinking about permaculture, and in about the time it would take you to go back and listen to those interviews you can sit down and be well into this wonderful book and have an even greater understanding of how permaculture applies to so many human systems, but also how to start asking the questions that can take your understanding of design to the next level. I've been in this field for half a decade now and this book is a welcome addition to my library. It came at the right time, but I can't help but wish that I would have been ready for it and received it sooner. Overall I like Toby's latest book so much that I'm putting it on my recommended reading list, especially for someone new to permaculture. After you've read Masanobu Fukuoka's The One-Straw Revolution, Donella Meadows' Thinking in Systems, Rosemary Morrow's Earth User's Guide to Permaculture, and David Holmgren's Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability, read The Permaculture City and take your design well beyond the landscape. The Permaculture City goes into publication on July 15, 2015 and you can pre-order a copy through the Chelsea Green website for $24.95. https://www.chelseagreen.com/bookstore/item/the_permaculture_city I am expecting to receive a final print copy of the book when it goes to press and will include that in the Traveling Permaculture Library Project. If you'd like to be a part of that cycle of giving, and receive a random book related to the broad umbrella of permaculture, email your name and address to librarian@thepermaculturepodcast.com and Matt Winters will take care of you. Until the next time, take care of Earth, your self, and each other. Correction: When originally recorded and posted the publication date for this book was September 14, 2015. The release date has since been moved up to July 15, 2015.

While many of us will never use permaculture outside of our own backyard or community, there is a whole world out there than can benefit from permaculture design. Places where small incremental changes that can have huge effects. Life is hard in places and Rosemary is someone who has lived her life helping hard places. She has dedicated her life to teaching and helping people. She is a true permaculture pioneer and an inspiration.People often ask, does permaculture work?From a western standpoint, the definition of work is usually form of ultimate abundance, some unrealistic expectation of what the land should be producing on a huge scale with little input; in other words, a miracle. When those results don't magically appear, people are disappointed and say, see it doesn't work.When I asked Rosemary if permaculture worked, she said absolutely, she has seen in. She has spent most of her time in the harshest places on the planet; places where the miracle isn't ultimate abundance. The miracle is merely having more today than you had yesterday and having reasonable assurance that it can continue for the foreseeable future. Places where a little more calories means the difference between starving or not. And in places like that, permaculture does work, it performs miracles.   Show Notes: www.permaculturevoices.com/68
