Permaculture Fiction with Linda Woodrow and Morag Gamble

In Episode 5 of Sense-Making in a Changing World, I am delighted to talk with Linda Woodrow, a well-known permaculture author. Her book The Permaculture Home Garden (Penguin 1996) and regular articles have introduced many to permaculture over the past decades. She also blogs about food and permaculture here. This week, Linda is releasing her first novel, 470 - which is also the first permaculture cli-fi novel either of us know of. I caught up with Linda via zoom in her garden to talk about her permaculture journey and of course about her new book, published by Melliodora (David Holmgren's publishing house). Grab a cuppa and join us in our garden conversation about permaculture, intentional communities, raising children in a permaculture environment, permaculture in Cuba, climate change, writing, hope, despair and resilience. And pick up a copy of Linda's novel HERE.ABOUT LINDA'S PERMACULTURE NOVEL 470In the 2030s, as the world spirals into ecological and economic meltdown, three generations of an Australian family must find a way to each other, and then a way to survive and make a good life.What will it be like, to live in a climate changed world?Meticulously researched, 470 explores the nature of resilience when the world suddenly tips.Subscribe & Share Thanks for tuning into Sense-making in a Changing World today.  It has been a pleasure to have your company.
