Practical Permaculture | Gardening and Intentional Living

Show Notes

2024 wrap up- Lessons learnt and looking forward into 2025.

In this episode, we take a step back to reflect on our first year of podcasting. We talk about the highs, the lessons we’ve learned, and where we’re hoping to go next with the podcast.

We dive into our permaculture journey—sharing the challenges, the wins, and how we’ve had to revisit and revise our goals along the way. We also get real about what it’s been like to balance personal commitments with community involvement and how that’s shaped our experiences this year.

Gardening has taught us so much, not just about nature but about life. We talk about embracing imperfection, learning from nature’s cycles, and the patience it takes to see growth, whether it’s in the garden or in ourselves. We also reflect on reassessing our career and life goals, the importance of building community, and the foundational lessons that have kept us grounded.

This episode is all about growth—personal, professional, and everything in between. Join us as we share what we’ve learned about mindfulness, sustainability, and finding balance on this journey.
