The Permaculture Research Institute of Australia

Raised in North London and Auckland, I studied biology and environmental sciences culminating in BSc in ecology and sustainable habitations at Oxford Brookes University. I have run my own ecological landscape gardening company in Oxford and London and have developed a system for managing garden ecology through our website www.ecocentrus.co.uk
I was a City Councilor in Oxford from May 2008-12
with the Green Party and teach Environmental Management.

I came to permaculture in 1996 when looking for sustainable solutions and studied under Bill Mollison at the Permaculture Institute in Tyalgum. I lived and worked there for a further 3 months and then helped develop IQ; a community permaculture center in Byron Bay.

My current interests are in teaching Permaculture in Oxford for city block collectives and also for schools, and to teach in France to integrate with local traditional farming.
