September 12 2023 Mandala Gardens by Galia Nikoleava
12 September 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
On behalf of Permaculture Sydney South, Galia Nikoleava will be taking us on a journey to discover the benefits of using a mandala garden.
“In permaculture, garden design emphasizes patterns of landscape, function, and species assemblies. With an eye on where elements can go to maximize a system’s benefits, the central concept of permaculture is not on each separate element, but on the relationships created among elements by the way they are placed together.”
Mandala gardens capitalize on this connection, both with the connection between components and the synergy of the final design. The whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts.
Permaculture design minimizes waste, human labor, and energy input. The circular shape of the mandala garden provides visual interest and accessibility. The application of mulch and compost provides the basis for a no-dig garden while also leaving your soil biota undisturbed. It is the microbes and billions of bacteria that do the heavy lifting in increasing soil fertility.
