GROWING TOGETHER: PERMACULTURE FOR LAND AND COMMUNITY
What if the principles that make a healthy ecosystem — diversity, cooperation, resilience, working with rather than against — are also the principles that make a healthy community?
In this month's Rural Voices, food artist and researcher Cherry Truluck is joined by Georgia Hughes and invited friends for a conversation on permaculture in its fullest sense: not just a method for growing food, but a whole way of designing how we live together. They'll explore agroecological growing — building soil, working with natural cycles, designing productive land that regenerates rather than depletes — alongside its lesser-known counterpart, social permaculture: applying the same ethics of care, fair share, and interdependence to how communities organise, share resources, and support one another.
Expect a wide-ranging discussion on what permaculture can teach us about resilience — in the soil and in the social fabric — and what it might mean for the future of rural life in Horningsham, and beyond.
