Permablitz: An informal gathering involving a day on which a group of at least two people come together to achieve the following:

  • create or add to edible gardens where someone lives
  • share skills related to permaculture and sustainable living
  • build community networks
  • have fun

For more background on Permablitz see Asha Bee's article originally published on Energy Bulletin and Katherine Kizilos' article for Melbourne's The Age newspaper . To learn more about permaculture see permaculture as defined in wikipedia.  

Each permablitz is part of a longer process including a pre-blitz design visit or visits, prior organisation of materials needed for the blitz, and after the blitz follow up visits to see how people are going with their new gardens.  This means that permablitzes stay true to permaculture design, which is always an extended process in which all action is informed by prior observation and reflection. 

This site is being set up to facilitate others to get permablitzes happening and to document permablitzes to date as a resource for others.  Stay tuned for site updates and feel free to use this site to organise your own permablitz!
