Breaking from tradition, this year PiNZ is requesting that EVERYONE attending the Annual Hui register in

Meet up with other permaculturalists, ecological designers and change agents from around Aotearoa New Zealand and share the harvests, innovations and success stories of your bioregion and learn about what others are up to.  Bring along surplus food from the garden, resources and project ideas to share with the permaculture whanau.  This is a great opportunity to pool our resources and share our taonga!

Our hosts for this year’s annual event, the community of Whaingaroa, will share their successes and showcase many of their gems with Annual Hui participants all weekend long.

The Permaculture in NZ Executive are thrilled to announce that the 2010 Annual Permaculture Hui will be held in Whaingaroa Raglan and designed by the Whaingaroa Community Team. Breaking from tradition, this years' Hui will be held on the weekend of Friday April 16th to Sunday April 18th . The Hui this year has the privilege of being hosted at the Kokiri, the home and base of Eva Rickard. The event will include lots of local gems including site visits to places like X-treme Waste, Whaingaroa Environment Centre, Solscape, and other local properties. Several practical, hands on workshops are already being planned. 

30/08/09               Changes are afoot .... as you may have noticed!

We have added a "Recent Comments" and "Upcoming Events" to the right hand side to make new content more instantly visible.

We have added "Recent Posts" to the Navigation menu on the left hand side. Again, we are looking to make new content more visible and particularly address the issue of forum posts not showing up in RSS feeds.

We have also pruned the Navigation menu on the left hand side. "My Blog" and "Classified Ad" have been removed, but rest assured, you can still access those from "Create Content" on the right hand side.

More changes are to come...we are still redesigning but will notify users of upcoming changes as soon as the design and implementation details are finalised.

Permaculture in New Zealand's mission is to act as a national hub in promoting and empowering permaculture education, activism and advocacy in Aotearoa NZ.

Our website aims to help people interested in and practicing permaculture within Aotearoa to keep in touch and share information.

If you're new to the concept of permaculture and it's strategies, the principles and ethics are a good starting point.
