We provide regular cooking and gardening experiences for students, tending our vegetable patch and making use of natural and recycled materials in our programs as much as possible

Our flagship Permaculture Design Course is back in

Our flagship Permaculture Design Course is back in August!

We have offered the PDC at CERES for 16 years, and it continues to be one of our most popular programs.

In August we are excited to deliver a newly-refreshed version of this course. It will have a focus on urban design with practical applications, and will incorporate Retro Suburbia and Social
Permaculture, delivered by an expert suite of tutors.

Be one of the first to experience our new 100+ hour Permaculture Design Course. You will be led by trainers brimming with permie passion, knowledge, and meet like-minded people.

Bookings are now open via the link in our bio.

Don't forget our Winter Wisdom promo ends tonight (June 30). Bookings for the PDC made by 11:55pm will receive a 10% discount (that's a saving of up to $199.50!)

Rain or shine, our little curious and adventurous

Rain or shine, our little curious and adventurous friends ventured out to @ceresbrunswick and @ceresjoesmarketgarden each week in Term 2 for Nature Playgroup.

The children participated in lots of fun activities including searching for mini-beasts, nature yoga, jumping in muddy puddles, a planting at Joe's Market Garden organised by @morelandcouncil, and learnt about and celebrated events such as World Bee Day, Reconciliation Week and International Compost Awareness Week.

Quote from a parent "I do this playgroup for me too" 💚

We're excited to announce that Nature Playgroups will be back in Term 3 (starting July 18). This nurturing and experiential program is perfect for children aged 2-5 years and their guardian. Pop on your gumboots and join our experienced educators, and discover our local, abundant ecology through child-led nature play.

Spots are filling up, so head on over to the link in our bio and book to avoid your little one missing out.

Image 4 shows a child sitting on the ground playing with water in a pot, and surrounded by more pots and pans. Image 5 shows a child looking up at the camera as he pushes a wheelbarrow.
