Introducing Morag Gamble from our NEW Incredible Edible Garden Course!
My name is Morag Gamble. I have been teaching permaculture for about 25 years in more than 20 countries.
I live a simple life in an Australian ecovillage, in an ecohouse I built with my family, which I’ve surrounded with abundant permaculture gardens (which have been awarded the Glossies Edible Landscape Award, presented by Costa Georgiadis).
The planet is having a rest and we are helping cultivate her garden.

Many people tell me they have no time for gardens, well now we have the time, take it as a gift and be in awe of how a garden grows.
