The Australian Institute of Landscape Architects has award the Edna Walling National Award for 2012 for our property in Bywong that has been designed and managed using permaculture principles. This prestigious award is only given to one recipient each two years. We are really excited that our efforts have been recognised in such a way and we see it as a great opportunity to spread the permaculture message to a wider audience. The award citation at http://www.aila.org.au/awards/2012/ (scroll about a fifth of the way down) features some of the design drawings for the property that were done during a PDC course.
