The School of Permaculture Arts is based in Motueka and was launched in winter 2026, partly in response to the fuel crisis and concern about availability of food, fuel, and resources. Increasing numbers of people are keen to learn practical skills towards living a resilient, healthy, and sustainable life so we are open now, even though the facilities are not quite ready. As part of our commitment to building resilience and health in our wonderful Motueka community, we are planning low-cost workshops and events to support each other in learning and growing.
If you would like to participate in creating this project please contact us. Contributors will get free or discounted workshops, depending on their contribution, and some fresh organic seasonal fruit.
Future workshops planned at the Garden of Eden School of Permaculture Arts include topics such as foraging, organic gardening, keeping hens, growing your own tea, making dairy products including cheese and butter, composting, biochar, mending clothes, herbal medicine, beekeeping, forest gardens, etc.
