Graham Bell and Morag Gamble How to Teach Peramculture

How to teach permaculture?

This is a very special episode - my way of celebrating the late Graham Bell - a tribute to a permaculture elder, pioneer, forest gardener, teacher, mentor, author, father, husband, friend. Graham died in early March 2023 after a brief illness.

I join the permaculture community around the world in acknowledging his enormous contribution to the field of permaculture, and to teaching permaculture teachers. I send my deepest condolences to his family.

I actually recorded this episode late 2022 and had been trying to work out how to edit it - Graham and I talked for almost 2 hours. I thought I needed to edit it to about an hour, but I could simply not work out which stories to leave out. In the end, I have decided to simply share the whole conversation with you.

Rest well, Graham. You've been an inspiration to me and so many others...

Dear Morag, Thank you for sharing this wonderful talk with Graham Bell. I haven’t listen to him before. I suddenly realized that it has never occurred to me what being a teacher really means. I thought, that one can be a teacher when one knows something. But listening to Graham Bell just taught me that it is so much more… and that learning to be a teacher might be something that I would now consider doing. I am very sorry that his soul has left this life… and thankful that I had the opportunity to feel his personality and the energy of a teacher that I would like to be. I send you kind regards and much appreciation for your wonderful work and for being a good listener to all this inspiring people. Claudia
