Hidden Lotus Herbs is getting ready to move to our new #farm site and really ramp up our operations!
For some backstory,
I was the recipient of a fund from @coop to start a worker-owned #cooperative and decided to make it an herbal apothecary!
We've been operational for around six months and are now starting our regenerative agroecological farm and increasing the capacity of our free clinic.
However, the #renewableenergy systems we're building are more expensive than we budgeted for, and we could use some help getting the farm and clinic going financially.
We're really needing help from our community to make all this cool stuff happen!
If you can spare some $, please consider supporting our transition and future. If you can't, please share far and wide!
Après un CA des Sheds, une petite visite du parc-jardin s'impose. La Photo en illustration est l'entrée de la zone #Biodiversité du Parc-Jardin des Sheds, à Kingersheim.
Cette Zone n'est pas destinée au potager, ni aux fleurs, mais à laisser des zones contrôlées de végétation naturelle.
C'est aussi notre réservoir d’orties (pour le purin). La deuxième photo montre le hache-paille antique qui nous sert tant.
Did you know that putting floating solar on only 10% of the surface of all the reservoirs that humans have built could provide 110% of the electricity that we now are producing? Well, now you do.
...streets and plants a bit of grass in between the stones. The surface cools down considerably. Then, there is the ancient technology of building wind-cooled houses in the #MiddleEast that I talked about last year. 2)
If "everyone" were able to cool down their...
Design & Build: From Raw Land to Small Farm
Our next permaculture workshop is on April 27th up in San Miguel. Join us for a tour of a grow-to-donate vegetable farm and fruit orchard in San Miguel. We will discuss the design of the farm, terracing, water system, crop layout and rotation, and Spring planting pre https://www.permacultureday.org/listing/design-build-from-raw-land-to-small-farm/
#ClimateDiary more on #UK harvest disaster this year. Particularly heartbreaking to read about struggles of an #agroecology farmer, who fears her veg box business might go bust. These are people who are trying to provide alternatives, pathways to transition - it worries me deeply that climate change is making this impossible.
Reminded again of Roger Hallam’s trajectory (founder of XR): it was his struggles as a #permaculture farmer that brought him to protest.
Permaculture Northern Beaches’ International Permaculture Day 2024
This year our INTERNATIONAL PERMACULTURE DAY event will be taking place on Sunday May 5th at the wonderful New Leaf Nursery, Ingleside.
It's set to be a full and festive afternoon with something for everyone!
A very satisfying afternoon pruning the lavatera at the station garden, then putting the prunings through a chipper borrowed from #Exeter#LibraryOfThings to make wood chippings we can use in the #Hotbin composter. It all felt nicely #permaculture, using the waste from one job to make something we could use for another process.

How'd you like to travel a few years into a future world of positive outcomes?
Maybe if we practice imagining what that could be, we might be more inclined to
MAKE IT SO! (he shouted).
If that is challenging, you might want to listen closely to some of the, so far, 98 episodes of From What If to What Next. If we can't imagine it, it's not fucking likely to happen, eh? We can retrain our brains.
"If there was ever a time for fresh thinking, for being bold, for being visionary and imaginative – for reimagining everything – this is it. Each episode, writer and Transition Movement founder, Rob Hopkins, invites cutting edge thinkers to visualise a new future. Join us as we ask What If..." #permaculture#TransitionTowns https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/from-what-if-to-what-next/id1538281063
Reconnecting with Nature: How Permaculture Helps Earth to Thrive 🌍
In today’s fast-paced world, where concrete jungles dominate landscapes and industrial agriculture strains ecosystems, the concept of permaculture stands as a beacon of hope. Permaculture, derived from "permanent agriculture" or "permanent culture," offers a holistic approach to sustainable living by…
Can anyone point me in the direction of #disabled persons pursuing self-sufficient lifestyles? The #disability could be mental, physical, or other and the self-sufficiency could be from a #Permaculture, #Prepping or #Sustainability perspective.
Looking for social media accounts, books, blogs, youtube or people doing this kind of thing outside of modern socials that would be happy to have a conversation about it.

Very chilly and pretty miserable out there so have only planted a few things today - herbs on the windowsill, and some flowers to attract some bees and things.
I've got some chard, onion, marrow and Pak choi seeds to plant hopefully tomorrow although finding things to plant in is becoming a challenge, as you can see from what I've planted into today 🤣.
