The tutors…
Bridget Scully has been practising Permaculture for 10 years having ‘caught the bug’ while training first under Nathan Foote while studying Sustainable Horticulture and Permaculture Design. This was followed by a live-in experience with the Koanga Institute where she spent 8 months developing their seed gardens and it was here that she completed her PDC (Permaculture Design Certificate). Since then, Bridget has set up countless permaculture gardens from scratch and helped many others to design and create their own Permaculture Paradise. This year, Bridget and her family took over guardianship of a 1/2 acre urban property in Gisborne which they are developing sustainably using Permaculture Design and an alliance with Nature.
Laura Scully completed her PDC in 2015 through the year long course offered by Plenty Permaculture. During this time Laura was living off-grid and able to implement her teachings by creating abundant gardens from scratch with the help of chickens. Currently working as a house painter, Laura is super passionate about living an organic lifestyle, growing and harvesting her own food and reducing waste in the household by making compost and recycling house waste back into the garden.
