It’s busy in the vegetable garden, I’m finishing summer orchard pruning for customers across County Cork and new permaculture design projects are coming in. I’ll also be speaking at two sustainability related events over the last two weekends of September – busy time!
Macroom Food Festival 21st -22nd September 2024
First up is the Food Festival in my home town of Macroom in County Cork, Ireland. I’ll have a stall with permaculture information and business leaflets and will be on a panel with other food sustainability experts at the Good Vibes forum on Saturday the 21st in the Town Hall 10am to 1pm.
It’s a cool weekend and lovely to have Macroom town square busy with people enjoying themselves.

Details about the Permaculture Design Workshop
Talk plus workshop on aspects of Keyline and permaculture design by Paul Lynch
I’ll be giving a lecture and workshop on using using Keyline Design and Yeomans Scale of permanence as a starting point for larger permaculture design projects. Is Keyline design useful in wet places? Case studies from Ireland using drone-generated low-interval contour maps for getting a project overview and finding keypoints in the landscape to begin designing. Let the landscape guide your design. Workshop overlaying designs on contour maps – bring your crayons : )
If you have a low-interval (around 0.5 to 2m) contour map of a site that you’d like the class to look at bring it along and we’ll see if we can fit it in.
See you at the Permaculture Gathering!
