Welcome

Welcome to permablitz.net - this site has been set up to help people get together and have fun learning about, designing and implementing suburban permaculture systems.  Our focus is edible gardens, and our ultimate aim is to make the suburbs edible enough such that should food become unaffordable, we don’t even notice.  See below for the next permablitz and feel free to submit your own onto the calendar.  Check out photos of blitzes 1-6 here, and photos of more recent blitzes in our gallery.

Follow up from Permablitz # 40 in Eltham Sunday April 6 2008 PDF Print E-mail

We would like to thank everyone who came to the Permablitz at our place in Eltham on Sunday (see photos here! ). An enthusiastic effort from all has dramatically changed our bare backyard. It looks fantastic and is a testament to the power of co-operation action and goodwill. It is heartening to meet and work with the forward thinking people who are getting behind permaculture, a positive philosophy for the planet in so many ways. We would love to have been everywhere to get involved in the multitude of activities on Sunday but the day went so quick. However there's always the next permablitz in Brunswick to attend.
A special thanks to Erin who bore the brunt of our questions, organised us for the day and who, along with Mike, put together the design for the backyard. Thanks to Mike too, sorry you couldn't attend. And of course a big thanks to the great Permablitz crew!
Cheers
Rachel and Brent

"Permaculture activism is now ready to reclaim Australian suburban landscapes and culture as the Energy Descent future of resource scarcity and climatic instability turns consumerist culture to compost. Permablitz is on the frontline." David Holmgren, co-originator or the permaculture concept
