Weeds or Wild Nature? – A Talk by David Holmgren
Sustainable Living Armidale (SLA) is pleased to welcome back permaculture co-originator David Holmgren for a thought-provoking evening under the Strawberry Moon as he returns to Armidale to explore the controversial topic of 'weeds or wild nature'. Building on decades of experience in sustainable design, David will challenge conventional views of naturalised plants, offering a positive permaculture-based perspective on their role in land management. Expect a compelling blend of personal insight, historical context, and scientific discussion – plus a chance to join the conversation and enjoy a social supper afterward. For more information, please visit SLA's website. |
