Gordon is a Permaculture consultant and educator currently working in Sydney and the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia.
Being raised in the Blue Mountains Gordon was able to spend time in the surrounding national parks and bushland where he gained an appreciation for the natural systems within them.
His 9 years of experience as a carpenter has led to a deep understanding of the difference between good and bad building design and construction. As a result of these experiences his passion is to see the built environment blend smoothly into the living surroundings.
His journey along the Permaculture path began when he inherited the family kitchen garden. While on the hunt for info on growing food, Rosemary Morrow's book, Earth Users Guide to Permaculture proved to be a revelation.
Gordon has undertaken training from some of Australia's most respected Permaculture educators such as Rosemary Morrow, Darren Doherty and Geoff Lawton. He has also worked at the Permaculture Research Institute in educational and on farm roles.

The Arts Factory backpackers resort in Byron Bay, New South Wales, has just been blitzed by an efficient team of Permaculturalists taking part in a five day course focusing on bringing permaculture designs from the page into the landscape.
The most recent PRI earthworks course saw the construction of a new ridge dam and swales at Zaytuna Farm.
The new craze that is taking the world by storm!
