I Thoroughly enjoyed the “Incredible Edibles” workshop

I Thoroughly enjoyed the “Incredible Edibles” workshop presented by Tonielle and Blake, … lots of great info and delicious food. I definitely recommend this workshop and if you can’t make it I suggest you jump on their website and buy their guide book, not easy to find guides for our tropical climate, and this one is a treasure.
– Jenny, President, Permaculture Cairns Inc (2016)

Thank you for such a great workshop!

Thank you for such a great workshop! I really enjoyed the food and drinks; they were abundant, original and charged with flavor. I was very impressed by the diversity of edible plants in your garden, and the different recipes there are to enjoy them. You helped me realize that it is possible to transform my small garden into an edible patch, and that food is a lot more than nutrients and taste!
– Mel Gomez

Loved the intro to permaculture course!

Loved the intro to permaculture course. Really enjoyed the way the OM crew presented the course. They made learning fun by doing lots of group activities and provided a supportive environment where people felt comfortable sharing ideas and experiences. Tonielle, Blake and Jay are very knowledgeable and passionate about permaculture and their enthusiasm is infectious. Great work guys.
