Description

Check out Botanical Bazaar festival here: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Rsvdfl⁠The Gold Coast's Premier Gardening and Sustainable living festival August 2nd and 3rd.


In this episode of The Practical Permaculture Podcast, Alysse chats with the ever-thoughtful Hampus — a Swedish sportsman-turned-permaculture enthusiast who swapped snow for sun and now digs deep (literally!) into the soils of the Hunter Valley, Australia.


Together, they explore what it’s like to begin the permaculture journey from scratch: think backyard experiments, kid-powered composting, and big dreams of off-grid living. Hampus shares his path from athlete to earth steward, how moving across the globe sparked a new connection to the land, and why teaching kids to grow food is one of the most radical acts we can do.

We live, work, and dream on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands. We acknowledge them as holding deep ecological knowledge and their ability to live sustainably in harmony with the land. They and other ancient cultures are roots of permaculture—working with nature, fostering resilience, and ensuring balance for future generations.
