Seeking advice! Me ( a soft Permie) has been hired by one of Australia’s most hardcore intellectual Permies (Rosemary Morrow). The challenge; to assist in the archiving and storing of 40 years of resources and knowledge.


My question is what is the most important information you want to know (and is worth storing) from one of Australia’s leading Permaculture icons.

About Rosemary Morrow

  • Most focused on teaching Permaculture to refugees all around the world
  • Books: Earth restorer’s guide to Permaculture (older versions called earth user’s guide…), the family seed saving book, Permaculture teaching matters,
  • traveled to around 50 different countries and has had crazy things like kidnappings and the such but still is always supporting people and the land with incredible teaching. (wild story to hear how she narrowly escaped the Khmer Rouge by chance)
  • has an academic understanding of Permaculture and landscape design beyond anyone I have ever met in my life.
  • Casually doing zoom calls to minorities in very dangerous places to teach them.
  • One of the most inspiring people; so peace focused it’s like she’s on fire.

What do you folks as the broader community want most from her as we enter the Climatic Era?

  • Working to your biggest limiting factors what questions do you have for the future of yourself your community and your land?
  • What form of content is best for you? Do you like academic writing or are you like me and needing “spoon feeding” on basic concepts?
  • It’s going to be difficult because I think she will be famous for her design in 2-3 hundred years but naturally understanding the genius is not common because of our (current) stable climate.

My questions:

  • Does anyone know any Permaculture knowledge storing hubs or institutions? Perhaps libraries that are Permaculture friendly and would appreciate the content?
  • What are your beliefs about the best way to preserve someone’s life and ideas?: biography? trust fund? spooky weird AI replica? museum? reddit post? let the work speak for itself?….
