A bit about Robyn Brown, our facilitator;
Robyn's gardening experience has come from a lifetime of following Permaculture Principles to set up her 5 acre property in the 1980s and to grow organic food for her family of 2 children who are now adults and flown the nest. Animals and humans enjoy a sprawling relaxed environment at this property!
The City's Community Safety Officer will also be in attendance to answer any community safety questions or concerns and provide resources on how to connect with your neighbours.
