There is something special about growing your own food - its very empowering, rewarding and satisfying. To extend my knowledge, I attended a permaculture course at http://berg-en-dal.co.za/ ecovillage in the Eastern Cape, a grow biointensive course by www.johnjeavons.info and another permaculture course at www.tamera.org. But I have learnt the most from experimenting in my own backyard and getting involved with community gardens. Below are some community gardens that I have assisted. Rhodes Park library - Kensington.
