"Sauveterre" Permaculture

Project Type

Rural, Residential, Demonstration

Project Summary

22 years ago we started to establish our 16 acres property following the permaculture principals Now it has become a demonstration site with plenty of examples and time has come to share our experience Hoping our website will be informative and inspire you.

Project Description

We started by building a compact passive solar mud- brick house including a greenhouse, a composting toilet, a food storage, a cool pantry and a grey water treatment through 3 reed-beds. We organised a sprinkler system on the roof + a fast way to protect all the windows in case of a bushfire. We established 2 vegies garden, an elevated mandala one and a bigger one which interacts with the chook pen. One part of the orchard has been transformed in a netted food forest. The 5 acres grazing area have been divided in 14 paddocks for rotation and control grazing. The rest of the property has been used for bush regeneration where we planted more than 1000 native trees.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
