Helen Dew, 85 year old legend in local currencies and sustainable living

It was a real delight to catch the train from Wellington to Carterton to spend the day with Helen Dew last week. I was treated to a full tour of her tiny incredibly abundant garden and given lots of inspiring reading material on the history of money, the rich life inside soil and other topics.This podcast is a small selection of the rich conversation we had. Helen has spent the past 30 years dedicated to promoting local currencies across the country. She’s a passionate advocate for re-localising our economies and lives. She’s also a co-founder of the Living Economies Educational Trust. You can read a bit more about her and the trust here: https://livingeconomies.nz/Helen is also a passionate and accomplished gardener. She manages to largely feed herself from her tiny backyard garden shown here in its slightly subdued winter form.
