Transition Town Kenmore’s permablitz initiative has been profiled in the Westside news.

The concept of Permablitzes originated in Melbourne and involves transforming lawns and backyards into productive fruit and vegetable gardens built using the principles of permaculture.

The recipient of the first Kenmore  permablitz, TTKD member Louise Orr told Anna Hilton from the Westside News how it took a “team of 16 people just two hours to make-over my entire garden and we’ve been eating from it all summer”.

Transition Kenmore operates not just in Kenmore but over the whole of the Pullenvale ward and has more permablitzes planned in the near future. Even if you are not a Transition Kenmore member you are welcome to get involved in this initative and have your own place blitzed. For more information on the Kenmore blitzes, keep an eye on the blitz brisbane calendars and visit the Transition Kenmore blog. More information about the blitz of Louise’s garden can be seen in these before, during and after posts.
