Lauren O’Reilly Student Story Cert IV Permaculture

I had fallen in love with the concept of permaculture and had been studying it quite intensely for a few years. I wanted to take my knowledge of it to the next level and felt the Northern Rivers is one of the best places to do this. The Cert III was well known and had great feedback and I felt the Cert IV would be perfect to help me become more professional in the field.

I loved the course, it covered topics and skills I would have found hard to learn in the outside world. I had a bit of trouble dividing my time between my own personal permaculture activities and some of the group ones but the College was fantastic and very understanding and flexible. I was able to continue my outside permaculture work and apply what I was learning from the course as I went which was fantastic.

The skills regarding drawing, budgeting, client relations etc were invaluable and I have applied them in every project I have done since. It made me think about things I hadn’t considered before and gave me the

confidence I needed when I’ve gone into consultant roles, knowing that I’m asking suitable and relevant questions to receive the right answers. It also gave me confidence in applying and advertising the skills and knowledge I already had.

My latest achievement was a job in the Mountains of East Timor setting up a community/demonstration garden in an old Portuguese colonial fort for a village and it’s surrounding areas. I spent three months living with a Timorese family and working with some locals to transform the space using permaculture concepts and techniques. It was a really tough experience but very inspiring. I’ve walked away feeling more confident than ever in my knowledge and abilities.

Since the course I have been gradually gaining more skills and knowledge in the field of permaculture and gardening. I have done a government business course and started my own official business as a permaculture consultant and garden designer. The field of permaculture is a big one and you can go many ways within it and I’ve had to think about where I will fit into it. I have realised that I love mixing my creative side with my love of gardening and sustainability so my mission is to continue to grow my business and create sustainable, functional, edible and beautiful outdoor spaces. In doing this I want to show that everyone can enjoy a sustainable garden. I love teaching adults about gardening and the sense of empowerment and enjoyment they get from picking their first berry or eating a beetroot they’ve grown.

Slow and steady steps to self sustainability for the every day person. This being said I would like to do my teacher training in the future so that I can hopefully continue to teach and empower.

Adult learning is empowering and no matter our age there is always something new to learn so give it a go, you have nothing to lose.
