Kirsten Bradley in conversation with Matthew Evans.

What if your habits could create a more meaningful life for you and a better world? The Milkwood Permaculture Living Handbook is your guide to improving your home, health and happiness – and the planet – one simple step at a time. Packed with practical skills and projects, it’s regenerative living for busy people who want to make a positive impact in a world out of balance.

Discover how simple changes to your every day can make a big difference. Maybe it’s decluttering your home, growing sprouts on your windowsill, connecting with your community or taking on a locavore mini-challenge. Maybe it’s going waste-free or falling in love with compost. Inspired by the life-affirming principles of permaculture, all 60 habits will help you reconnect with your ecosystem, save money and celebrate sustainable living.

Wherever you start, this book will help you change your lifestyle in small but significant ways – one powerful, practical habit at a time – towards a resilient, abundant life and a hopeful future for all.

Kirsten Bradley is the co-founder of Milkwood with Nick Ritar – together they’ve been teaching permaculture design and skills for living like it matters for more than 15 years. When she’s not helping folks to create meaningful change through their everyday actions, Kirsten can be found tending her backyard ecosystem of veggies, bees, berries and family, on melukerdee country in lutruwita/Tasmania.

Matthew Evans is a former chef and food critic, now smallholder and food activist, known to many as the Gourmet Farmer. He is the author of thirteen books, including the authoritative and bestselling Real Food Companion, as well as Soil and On Eating Meat.

Join these two at the RACV Hobart Hotel for a chat about saving the planet through permaculture, one seedling at a time.
