Our Services
The Hamilton Permaculture has a depth of experience and knowledge about permaculture, organic gardening and community education. We have the following services to assist you and your organisation to become more sustainable. Call or email us to discuss any of these, or set up an appointment.
Community Gardening
This is for organisations who are interested in setting up a community garden but don’t know where to start. We offer a facilitation service to help you work out what would be best for the needs of you and your clients, taking into consideration your resources and requirements. Later on, we can help to set up your garden and provide assistance to make it a thriving part of your services. If you are eligible, this is a free service. Link to Waimarie Community Garden.
School Gardening
Schools have their own special needs when it comes to setting up a garden. The Trust can work with teachers, caretakers and children to help you plan and build a garden that will be sustainable over many years. We have organised a modular program that will help teachers to plan a program that suits their needs. Link to St Josephs School Garden.
Garden Tours
If you would like a group tour of the Sustainable Backyard Garden, or Waimarie Community Garden, please contact us to arrange a time. If you would like to take a customised tour of sustainable gardens, also contact us as we may be able to assist.
Advice & Consultancy
For those who are ready to build their own sustainable backyard but don’t have the know how, or time, the Trust offers a paid consultancy service. We can also build and establish a basic permacultural garden to get you started. This typically includes raised garden beds, compost facilities and planting advice. Our Weeds 2 Needs program means that all profits from these services go directly into the establishment of low cost gardens for selected families who have committed to then pass knowledge onto their own communities. Contact us to find out more.
Customised Training
In addition to scheduled workshops and courses through the year, the Trust is available to develop programs specifically to your own requirements. Courses that we have run include subjects on organic gardening, adobe earth building, permaculture and composting. We have access to a wide range of specialised tutors who have proven hands on experience in their field of expertise.
Community Events
We are available to exhibit at community events that focus on environmental sustainability and social well being. We support the work that other community groups are doing and want to continue to support your endeavours. Link to events.
