Ever wondered what it would be like if a team of locals came in the did your garden up – in one day! Well, that’s the idea behind the ‘Permablitz’ movement, now popular in Melbourne.
Instead of each homeowner slogging away on their own garden, groups of householders band together and do each other’s gardens. Your garden gets blitzed on a chosen week-end. Good gardening solutions and ideas come from many heads rather than one.
Nobody gets out of doing the work, but it is a fun way to get things done and it’s commuty bonding too. Is there scope to do this in our community? I know of somebody in West Hobart who had her garden done over this way.
Check out the Permablitz website for more.

As someone fairly new to serious backyard gardening I love this idea! But regardless of whether there’s enough interest in backyard blitzing, it would be good to be able to share advice, ideas, hints, seeds etc with the other gardeners in the Valley.
Could we set up a gardening subset of the community group, perhaps with a convenor to coordinate it? The West Hobart group has done this, I notice.
