ABOUT DAVID HOLMGREN

David Holmgren is best known as the co-originator with Bill Mollison of the 
permaculture concept following the publication of "Permaculture One" in 1978. 
Since then he has written several more books, developed three properties 
using permaculture principles, conducted workshops and courses in Australia, 
New Zealand, Israel, Italy, France, Britain, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. He 
has consulted and supervised on urban and rural projects in Australia and New 
Zealand. 

Within the growing and international permaculture movement, David is 
respected for his commitment to presenting permaculture ideas through 
practical projects and teaching by personal example, that a sustainable 
lifestyle is a realistic, attractive and powerful alternative to dependant 
consumerism. At home (Hepburn Permaculture Gardens in central Victoria), 
David is the vegetable gardener, silviculturalist, builder and general fix it 
man. 

The Fryers Forest Eco-village, also in central Victoria, has been his prime 
focus in 
recent years, where he performed many roles including planner and project 
manager. As well as constant involvement in the practical side of 
permaculture, David is passionate about the philosophical and conceptual 
foundations for sustainability which are the focus of two books currently in 
preparation.
