Retrosuburbia: Aussie Street with David Holmgrem

Join us for an engaging conversation with permaculture co-originator David Holmgren. David will share his Aussie St work and help us understand the vital retrofits to our homes, gardens and, most fundamentally, our behaviours. Afterwards David will participate in a panel discussion with Western Sydney experts, followed by a Q&A. This event is open to anyone interested in attending. David Holmgren, permaculture visionary and story teller takes us back through the decades of our lived history in the streets where the quarter acre hosted the Aussie post war dream, through the decades of rising affluence and additions, aging and infill, permaculture inspired retrofit and on, through a gritty but inspiring and realistic transformation in the Great Depression of the 2020s. Aussie St is a permaculture soap opera, made real by masterful story telling that sounds a warning and clarion call for direct action on the home front. The presentation is also a window into the rich palette of design solutions and tips that Holmgren has explored in in his latest opus, Retrosuburbia; the downshifters guide to a resilient future.
