Permaculture & Sustainability

Are you local council, community centre, school or organisation wanting to bring hands on skills to your community? Then you’re in the right place.

Mitch brings over 10 years’ experience delivering sustainability workshops to a wide range of groups — from local schools and community gardens to councils, businesses and neighbourhood centres.

Known for his relaxed, engaging style, Mitch makes practical sustainability feel approachable and achievable. Participants leave not just inspired, but confident to put what they’ve learned into action.

He currently delivers regular workshops for Randwick Council, Waverley Council and Sydney City Farm. If you're a local council, community centre or organisation looking for an experienced sustainability educator, get in touch. Mitch facilitates workshops on topics including:

  • Creating edible gardens in small spaces

  • Fermentation and food preservation

  • Zero Waste Cooking

  • Recycled and Refurbished Woodwork

  • Compost and Worm Farms

  • Food Forest Design Principles

Our workshops are designed to help communities build practical, hands-on sustainability skills and reconnect with the joy of doing things themselves.

Whether your group is brand new to growing or already has a thriving garden space, participants leave with knowledge that’s useful, achievable and ready to put into action.

  • Councils looking to deliver meaningful sustainability programs

  • Community centres wanting practical, engaging education

  • Schools introducing students to food growing and environmental responsibility

  • Organisations seeking hands-on, real-world sustainability workshops

  • Community groups wanting to learn skills like composting, fermenting, or small-space gardening
