Permakids is nature, and permaculture gardening awareness workshops for children.

These workshops are for children to explore and be in touch with nature - nature being above and below the ground, this is done in a variety of ways from observation, use of all senses, games and hands on experience. They learn about the magic of growing food, the smells, feel, taste and flavour.

We play lots of games too, paint or create art with nature and spent much time laughing and smiling. No workshop would be complete without the children taking home there own mini garden that they have personally planted up that day.

Veggie Village is a Community Garden at Di Hirst Oval, Peregian Beach. The Village will use permaculture techniques to teach people how to grow their own fruit & vegetables in individual and communal veggie patches.
