In today’s interview, the first in a two-part series, my friend and colleague Dan Palmer of Making Permaculture Stronger, gives me a sense of vicarious joy to share with you, as he’s done something that’s on my list of dream podcast experiences. Dan sits down face-to-face with David Holmgren at Melliodora and together they have a conversation about the early history of permaculture. From David’s lips to our ears we hear the first-hand account of his days at university, meeting Bill Mollison and their initial work together, to the impact of David’s second permaculture mentor Haikai Tane.

David and Dan are also working together on a film project Reading Landscape. You can find out more about the film and donate to that project at ReadingLandscape.org. As this episode goes live they’ve raised $11,000 of the $35,000 goal, with another month left to go in the campaign. I don’t just share that with you as a link to follow, I also donated to the campaign, as it’s something I believe we need, now more than ever.
Until the next time our paths cross, spend each day considering your design journey and own unique story while taking care of Earth, yourself, and each other.
