Morag’s Permaculture Festival of Wild Ideas

International Permaculture Festival of WILD Ideas 2025

A ‘Donate if you can’ event

While the International Permaculture Festival of Wild Ideas is a free event, we warmly welcome your donation to help fundraise for our registered permaculture charity, Ethos Foundation.

If you choose to give, we send 100% of your donation to local leaders running youth-led permaculture projects in refugee and village communities on the frontline of climate and ecological crises.
