Part of the UK New Dawn & Penny On (http://pennyon.com)objective is to create in Manchester a Permaculture "urban farm" or city farm. This will be done in collaboratin with the charity Community Service Volunteers http://www.csv.org.uk/volunteering
City Farms: http://city-farms.blogspot.co.uk/
The outcome is to educate project teams in the UK and take them to UK and non UK destinations to teach sustainability, green technologies, permaculture and linked subject matters.
Projects in the Sahara, Malawi, Pakistan and India identified.
We are currently sourcing the "Manchester donor" UK plot for this to happen with a number of leads looking quite strong.
As part of the education process Martin and I visited Towneley Halls "Offshoots Permaculture Project" and met with Phil Dewhurst to get some pointers and valuable advice.
Offshoots is well worth a visit online and a good destination to get back to nature: http://offshoots.org.uk/
