NATURE’S PARADISE

Transformed from a former five-acre degraded cow pasture to a permaculture paradise, Djanbung Gardens in Nimbin is well worth a visit. It provides a constant supply of food for residents and friends, catering for workshops and courses, plus a surplus for value-adding and trading at local markets. Guided tours with a qualified permaculturist are offered every Saturday at 11am for $20 or take a self-guided tour of the organic garden systems with a map for $2. The tours are perfect for those who are interested in companion planting, no-dig gardens, natural pest management, composting and edible landscapes.
