Description

Filled with inspiring images that can change the way we see the world, the Calendar features practical examples of each of the 12 permaculture design principles, and showcases photo contributions from the broader permaculture community.

Daily moon planting icons can help you get more organised by observing the rhythms and patterns of the lunar cycles, no matter where you are in the world, supporting regular planting routines.

This year’s cover features musicians, Formidable Vegetable, who sow the gardens of our minds with the seeds of change to ‘Turnip the Beets for people, plants and the Planet.’

Organise your garden, your life and share your schedule with this deceptively simple but thought-provoking permaculture calendar. Illustrating 1 of the 12 permaculture design principles each month, gives you time to absorb and integrate them. Each example includes an image and story of sustainable living and design.

Moon planting is a way to manage your gardening time more effectively, get more organised and observe the rhythms and patterns of nature. The first 3 phases are represented by icons to guide planting activities. The final phase and during phase transition is time to improve your soil. Exact moon phase, solstice and equinox times are are provided in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) and can be adjusted to your local time.

What makes the permaculture calendar ethical?

The permaculture calendar is printed on Australian-made, 100% recycled paper using vegetable based inks. Our printer recycles all e-Waste, printing plates, ink cartridges, paper waste and packaging. The vegetable based that we use don’t release unnecessary VOC’s into the atmosphere or require harmful solvents for clean up.

Once the calendar has reached the end of its life you can recycle or compost it, frame the pictures, or keep it as a reminder of the principles and important events over the year. It can also be used as a teaching tool to illustrate an example of each of the design principles.

We’re also demonstrating the Fair Share ethic by donating 100% of profits of the calendar to permaculture projects worldwide – with over AU$22,000 contributed since 2013.
