Sustainable Practices by Ron Sperber


A mix of theory and practice. Topics are tailored to suit your group’s interests. Ron Sperber

You can design an interesting educational talk and hands-on experience for your group, with some of the ideas listed below
  • an introduction to Permaculture (theory/presentation based)
  • examples of sustainable living (slide show and talk on topics to suit)
Hands on:
  • sowing from seed
  • building a cold frame (for raising seeds in)
  • building raised beds
  • garden from scratch
  • square foot vege gardens
  • grow your own mushrooms
  • foraging for wild foods
  • working with bamboo
    • making a didgeridoo (& learning to play it)
    • making a bean frame
    • basic bamboo sculpture/growing frames
    • small bamboo structures
  • rainwater harvesting off your roof
  • appropriate technology
  • Zen and the art of restoring and using old hand tools
  • Scythe Tai Chi (forget your weed-eater)
Costs vary depending on time allocated, and preparation time for hands on activities
