PFC Mentors
David Spicer—Doc Spice Permaculture, Australia
I am passionate about connecting people, farms and communities to landscapes, with intelligent design and precise earthworks, no land needs to be thirsty.
I take patterns in the landscape and apply another set of patterns to enhance the landscape function, centered around water, good access is good interaction with our earth.
I’ve learnt over the years setting up the basic mainframe design of water, access, structure/infrastructure creates the bones of a well integrated collaborative nature based system.
Water is life, when we can collectively support water and its system its a milestone in any project from micro to macro.

She started growing food & flora as a small child involved in a local horticultural society at age 7 and urban growing in gardens, pots, indoors and out ever since. She holds a PDC from the Permaculture Institute and continually studies soil sciences and plant propagation while being the founder, writer, researcher and visionary of the global #plantforchange movement including the first Global Seed Directory here at PFC and the Seed Steward Initiative. Her heart, passion, connection and immense care for humanity and our Earth is profound and awe-inspiring.
