welcome to Castlemaine Permablitz, an exciting new group forming under the Permablitz banner.
Driven by Hamish MacCallum, the group aims to intergrate a diverse amount of people from Castlemaine’s amazing community – by way of sharing knowledge and skills about edible, sustainable organic food gardens and coming together as a community to bring food gardening to people’s doorsteps.
the following is a direct quote from Permablitz Melbourne:
“Permablitz Defined
Permablitz (noun): An informal gathering involving a day on which a group of at least two people come together to achieve the following:
- create or add to edible gardens where someone lives
- share skills related to permaculture and sustainable living
- build community networks
- have fun
Permablitzes are free events, open to the public, where you learn a lot, share food, get some exercise and have a wonderful time.”

its a great page – i particularly love their motto - “eating the suburbs one backyard at a time!”
