Permaculture in action
Transform part of your garden in to a working Permaculture design
This is an opportunity to learn about permaculture through designing and building a working permaculture design into your own back garden.
Learn about and build raised beds, a poly tunnel, rainwater harvesting, discover which plants to grow to encourage
beneficial wild life and mini eco systems, grow your own vegetables and much more.
We aim to create a working party of people who wish to explore bringing permaculture in to their gardens, and continue to give support to each other as the gardens grow. If you don’t have a garden you can still learn, food can be grown anywhere.
So come along give it a go, learn new skills, use creative thinking, make some new friends, have fun and exercise at
the same time.
Start date March 1st 2013 at various venues see Sue or Kath at Weaving the Web events (dates on events page)

The project is on going so anyone can join in at any point and learn about permaculture and how it works, it's also great fun and a great way of swapping ideas so come along and try it out!

Permaculture works with nature to make a better world for all. By observing the natural world we can see a set of principles at work. Permaculture design uses these principles to develop integrated systems that provide for our needs of food, shelter, energy and community in ways that are healthy and efficient. We can use permaculture design methods to improve the quality and productivity of our individual lives, our society and our environment.
The Permaculture Association is the national charity that supports people to learn about and use permaculture.

Transition Ipswich is about using our collective talents and unique local knowledge to make our community more resilient to the growing social pressures of Peak Oil and Climate Change.
Many towns around the country are now well on their way to putting into practice a local energy descent plan and they look like they're having a pretty good time as well.

Ipswich food Co-op
Ipswich Ripple Food Co-op opened in April 2007. We sell vegetarian and organic wholefoods, locally or ethically sourced. We add only 6% onto the wholesale price of goods (to full members), making them affordable, improving access to healthy foods. As a voluntary community project, the Food Coop is run by and for its members.
Shopping at the co-op is not like shopping in a supermarket. Many of our products come in bulk, members weigh out their own goods and look up the price from a list. It's a hands-on experience, much more enjoyable than supermarket shopping!
Brown paper bags are provided for decanting dry goods into the quantity you need, but try to bring your own containers. Some liquids are sold from big drums with a funnel, so bring along your old washing up liquid bottles
We have a fairtrade cafe, lending shopping a sociable, relaxed atmosphere. Friends and groups use us as a meeting place. We welcome those with special dietary needs and stock many gluten and dairy-free items. We hold information on local events and organisations, run educational workshops, and hold feasts.
