Permaculture Publishing with Maddy Harland and Morag Gamble

In this episode I am speaking with my friend and colleague, Maddy Harland from England. Maddy is the cofounder of both Permanent Publications and the Permaculture Magazine with her husband Tim. Their publishing company has released over 100 permaculture books (including two of her own) since 1992 and she has created over 100 issues of the magazine.

Maddy has made an incredible contribution to permaculture through publishing and she is an educator, speaker, author and global regeneration activist as an advisor to the Cloudburst Foundation, and founder of the Sustainability Centre in East Meon.

Maddy talks candidly about how she's found balance during the lockdowns. walking ancient Celtic trails, gardening and beekeeping. She also talks about how she rapidly redesigned her permaculture publishing business using permaculture principles in 2020  to meet the new conditions -  Brexit and the pandemic - and come out with greater strength and focus. She says with everything that has happened, the popularity of permaculture has just sky-rocketed. Her new books are selling out before they've been released!

In the conversation we talked about: 

• Grounded: A Gardeners' Journey to Abundance and Self-Reliance by Liz Zorab, 
• Cultural Emergence: A Toolkit forTransforming Ourselves and the World  by Looby Macnamara. See my interview with Looby a few weeks back here.
