This is a half-day permablitz to build the maturing bays for the thermophilic compost. The focus for the permablitz will be to construct three compost bays where the compost can mature for 4-6 months. The thermophilic compost heaps built at the permablitz on 22nd August have heated up and been turned multiple times. They are now cooling down and need a space to mature. This permablitz is going to build the bays needed for the maturing process.

Mini workshops will include:

• Explaining the purpose of the maturation stage of composting

RSVP Essential: if you want to come along you need to let Permablitz London know since spaces are very limited. Fill in this registration form to confirm your attendance.

There will be refreshments provided but we won't be having lunch.

A meal, a talk by Tim Blackburn and then a chance to see how moth traps are set up

Kentish Town City Farm, NW5 4BN

This workshop is free to attend but you need to register here:
https://www.capitalgrowth.org/whats-on/apr26-moth-trapping-big-city-bug-hunt/
During the evening we will be providing an evening meal (donations towards the food will be welcome). 

Moths are jewels of our natural heritage. They’re as beautiful as butterflies and as industrious as bees, yet lots of people I talk to seem to have an instinctive dislike of these insects. I will introduce you to the wonderful diversity of moths, which can be found even in the dark heart of the inner city. I will show how they can inform about how the natural world works, and explain why they are such important links in the web of life that includes you and me. Hopefully, by the end of the talk, you will have a little more appreciation of this amazing group of insects.

Mini workshops include:

• What is the difference between bees, wasps and hoverflies?

• Which bees use a bee hotel?

• How to make aerated compost tea and what are its benefits

Join this permablitz organised to create a food growing space that will teach children at the school about food growing and wildlife (soil life, birds, bees and other pollinators). We will be building raised beds, setting up a wormery, leaf mould bin and a play planting bench.

This permablitz is to implement a permaculture design completed on the Permablitz London Permaculture Design Certificate course in 2025.

Mini workshops will include:

• Why is leaf mould (composted leaves) so beneficial and how to setup a leaf mould bin?

• How to take care of and benefit from a wormery?

Seven years ago, we transformed this small urban garden into an edible forest — planting fruit trees, berries, herbs, and vegetables through a permablitz. Since then Cat has become a horticultural therapist and now it’s time to return for a revival permablitz where we will prune the fruit trees and fruit bushes, add lasagna mulch to support soil health,  prepare and plant up a bed for medicinal plants. 

Mini-workshops will include:

• Cat’s top-ten medicinal plants

• Materials you can use for a lasagne mulch and their benefits

• How to prune fruit trees and fruit bushes

Permablitzes offer the chance to learn by doing: the mini-workshops explain the how and why for what we are doing and then you take the practical action so they provide a great way to learn. They are based on the principle of reciprocity so once you have been to three permablitzes you can apply to have one in your own space and apply to join the Introduction to Permablitz Design, a free introduction to permaculture design course.

RSVP Essential: if you want to come along you need to let us know so we know numbers for lunch, which is provided, and so we can give you all the specific details. Contact us at info@permablitzlondon.com letting us know you want to join Cat’s Garden Permablitz.

Join us for the first Permablitz organised in collaboration between Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses and Permablitz London.

Come and learn how to prune fruit trees and soft fruit bushes in an urban woodland.

On this permablitz we will be learning the theory and practice of winter pruning fruit trees and soft fruit bushes. The day will start with a workshop explaining how to prune and after that we will apply what has been learnt by pruning the fruit trees and soft fruit bushes on site before mulching around their bases and carrying out other winter tasks in the orchard. Come along to meet fellow volunteers, learn about orchard care and hone new skills. A simple vegetarian lunch will be provided.

Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses is a community garden in the centre of Lambeth’s Brockwell Park. We provide a welcoming space where people of all ages and backgrounds can connect with nature and community. We run activities 7 days a week including garden volunteering, school visits, workshops, gigs and community events.  BPCG is a Registered Charity. 

RSVP Essential - If you would like to come along you need to let us know so we know numbers for lunch, which is provided, and so we can give you all the specific details. Register for the permablitz by clicking here.

Permaculture is an ethical design system, based on ecological principles, that creates sustainable and regenerative human habitats by following nature's patterns. This workshop will introduce permaculture by outlining the key ethics and principles and how they can be applied to a design process. We will look in particular at permaculture’s relevance to living in an urban context and how attendees can apply permaculture in their own lives.

Speaker: Susannah Hall

Susannah Hall is a designer, trainer and facilitator for Permablitz London teaching their Permaculture Design Certificate course. She also teaches adults and children about crafts, the wildlife we find in the city and designs edible gardens that work with rather than against nature. 

Her balcony design with 50 different plants (see image), quails, a wormery and space for natural dyes won Camden in Bloom Best Mini-Garden 2021. She has also designed a forest garden for Forest Farm Peace Garden and co-designed (with Kayode Olafimihan) the food forest at Northwick Park Community Garden and the permaculture community gardens at Battersea Arts Centre and London’s Community Kitchen.
