Like us, I’m sure plenty of you have an overload of parsley in your gardens at the moment. If you can’t get rid of it fast enough, why not make some tabbouleh like Crop Swap Sydney member Claudia did last season. She swapped with another member from Greenwich and used the recipe below to create this feast for her family.

Turramurra Lookout Community Garden broke soil in 2010, and in just 6 years has evolved into a large and well established, completely organic garden. It’s design demonstrates various permaculture principles and is made up of both communal areas and 24 individual plots. As we swap, the garden will be buzzing with activity while members tend[…]
Last weekend Moss House opened to the public for Sustainable House Day, and served as the venue for our first swap of the season. This property is a great example of a working permaculture garden on a suburban scale, and was an inspiration for many members who were able to see elements of sustainable permaculture food garden design in action.

On Saturday March 19th a group of 40 Sydney crop swappers met for the first time at Eden Gardens, Macquarie Park.
People came from far and wide armed with bundles, bags, boxes and baskets of produce. The best part was that it was all local, homegrown, homemade and delicious. The only problem was that there was too much! (Rest assured all left overs were either given away or composted.)

Crop Swap Sydney member Dee has an ambitious vision to turn a challenging plot into a highly productive space. It has been four years in the making and involves copious amounts of clay, sandstone and a large vertical wall, just waiting to be planted out. The problem is how?
Amongst other things, I am, and have always been an AVID veggie gardener. It’s a consistency in life that is a simple pleasure, a skill, a knowledge base and a way of life that feeds (literally) into the way we operate on a daily basis.
Growing is not a job for me, (that is something a little more pedestrian unfortunately) but it has always been in the background. In the past I have been involved in community gardens, have created a crazy edible garden in a carpeted Kings Cross apartment (more on that another time) and am a follower of permaculture principles.
