Come September 7, Melliodora will open its doors again for the popular monthly guided tours. You have a chance to see the truly sustainable household at work in one of the world’s best examples of permaculture exhibition sites at Melliodora. During the day, David Holmgren (co-founder of the permaculture concept) and his partner Su Dennett (inductee of the Hepburn shire’s women’s honour roll for her role in community building) will take you through their house, garden and orchard. From the garden farming food production, preservation and processing, waste disposal, ecological house buiilding and maintainance, energy saving tips, to household economy and community building, they will show you how the permaculturely designed and operated house sustains and recharges their active lives.
We run the “Solar house tour” in the morning and the “Garden farm tour” in the afternoon. You can take part in just one, or attend both on the same day. Your tour price includes, wholesome morning/afternoon tea prepared by Su, as well as a complimentary copy of Melliodora eBook on CD ($35) which is a record of the first 20 years of development of the site. The eBook details how the Melliodora you see was designed and established, explaining how some of the design decisions were made, some specific techniques applied, why and how some of the plants were planted where they are, and so on. It will enhance your experience at Melliodora long after you visit here. An ideal reference of your visit here.
Here are some of the testimonials.

Permaculture is an approach that has proven itself on land as a way to blend farming with healthy ecosystems. What if it could do the same on water?
