Nevin (Nev) and Linda Sweeney, authors of popular blog underthechokotree.com will be talking about “Living Sustainably in Suburbia” (and solar cookers), on Sunday 26 November, from 1.30 to 2.30 p.m.

Nev says: We will be talking about who we are and what we do here at The Choko Tree. We’ll describe the systems we use to grow our own food, produce our own energy and treat our wastewater, while giving you a virtual tour of our 600m2 permaculture paradise!

From fertilizer sausages to renovating a bug hotel, food preserving and cooking with the sun, Nev and Linda have been sharing their experiences with others for years. They are both members of Permaculture Sydney West and their home and garden was again part of the recent Sustainable House Day.

The Sweeneys have also appeared on Gardening Australia with Costa Georgiadis and continue to share their knowledge on their website www.underthechokotree.com/ and via their Facebook page: Under The Choko Tree.
