IW Permaculture Meeting dates.
Ventnor Permaculture Group was formed about a year ago by local members of the Isle of Wight group, which has been going for about 3 years, and was started by people who attended a permaculture course at Aldermoor Farm. I hope it will become the first of many local groups on the Island, forming a network with the Isle of Wight group as its hub.
We would love to see other towns and areas forming their own local permaculture groups - cuts down on travelling and makes it far easier to exchange plants, seeds and help each out out. Don’t forget to go to the IW permaculture meetings though.

Permaculture Explained
Can you step outside your door and pick fresh salad every day of the year with very little effort, and fresh fruit even in the winter?
Have you reduced your water and fuel bills and done your bit towards reducing climate change?
These are just some of the things you can achieve with permaculture.
There are lots of long explanations of what it is about, and you can find more on this site, but for me it is simple: Do you care about the earth, and about people?
Are you prepared to act on those beliefs?
If you are, then joining your local permaculture group is a great way to meet others like you, to learn from each other, and work together to improve your life.

Permaculture History
Permaculture means permanent culture;
originally permanent agriculture/horticulture, later broadened to include far more than that. The word was first coined by Bill Mollison in the 1970’s. He was an Australian ecologist at the time, disillusioned with current farming and growing methods, and intent on improving them. Since then, permaculture has become a world-wide movement, with a network ranging from national organizations to local groups like this one.
