About Tamara Griffiths

I see gardening as a political act of sedition, haha!

I love getting my hands dirty in the name of political action. I did my Permaculture design certificate in 2007 and I haven't looked back since.

This year I am launching a new Permaculture school - Moonrise School of Permaculture - in Melbourne. I'm pretty excited!!!

I do permaculture designs for paying and non-paying clients, but what I love most is helping people learn how to design their homes and even continents into food growing edens - and how to eat their way through that great garden! I'm into cooking with acorns at the moment, huge amounts of fun and experimentation have led to running some workshops and PDCs with my friend Taj AKA The Permapixie!

I'm also an Historian and Heritage consultant - with a masters degree - but let me tell ya, now that I'm a permie gardener and educator as a living it would take alot to get me back inside.

I've lived in lots of places around australia - I grew up in the desert - Whyalla SA, and I love every desert I've been to. Its my landscape. I lived in Halls Creek in the Kimberleys for a few years and loved that desert scape as well as some wonderful people. I've lived in Adelaide and Melbourne and was in rural Tasmania for 9 months while learning Permaculture with Bill and Lisa Mollison.

I like ducks. A lot. It has been suggested I'm obsessed with ducks but I don't think thats completely true... but I do come with a duck. He travels with me and meets all manner of people and animals and, sometimes, girl ducks :) He has lots of fans.

I don't do anything by halves; friendship, love, education, permaculture, books, ducks, animals, community, family, social justice, history, politics, sleeping in, Dr Who, caring for mother earth.

I always plant geraniums with citrus. And I like to grow tansy and oregano wherever I am. I love growing broad beans plants. They rarely get to grow beans - the stem and leaves are so delicious. They are nourishing for me and the soil.

I like scrumping - picking fruit from feral or overloaded trees - or acorns from below oaks on highways. Its all good. And I love wild and bush food. My parents are surprised I've lived this long with all the weird plant stuff I've put in my mouth.

I love teaching anything to do with food and permaculture. I'm so inspired that there are people that want to learn from me. Its just so awesome! Its what I want to spend the rest of my life doing, especially in places where permaculture is particularly needed - so people in all life situations have the freedom to feed themselves.

Edible acorns

Its autumn here in Melbourne and last week I collected a bag of acorns. I was pretty excited to get them home and experiment with ways of making them edible.
