Join me this episode for an exploration into homeschooling with permaculture author-educator-activist Lucy Legan.

I've interviewed Lucy before on this podcast after the release of her book 'Planet Schooling', a fantastic conversation about re-conceiving what education is for, how she teaches permaculture, has created living learning centres and school gardens plus her process of writing!

Now I interview her after the release of her free eBook 'How to Start Homeschooling Your Children' - a fantastic resource to approach the (sometimes daunting) journey of homeschooling.

In this conversation, we dive into everything around homeschooling - all of our stories as both professionals in permaculture & ecoliteracy education and as mothers homeschooling their children (and in Lucy's case, grandchildren).

If you've ever considered homeschooling your kids or in the process, this is a must listen!

I had a wonderful time catching up with Lucy - as we said, if we lived close to each other, you'd constantly find us in each others' gardens!

If you're interested in helping us send a box of Lucy's book 'Planet Schooling' over to the Permayouth hubs in refugee settlements in East Africa, we would appreciate any donations! Send it through the Ethos Foundation (100% goes directly to the project) and leave us a message to let us know it's for this initiative.

One of Lucy's great resources mentioned in the podcast is the card deck and guidebook 'Seed to Plate' - an inspiration and guide to learn how to save seeds. To learn more about Lucy's work and find more resources, check out her website - https://planetschooling.com/

This podcast is an initiative of the Permaculture Education Institute.

Our way of sharing our love for this planet and for life, is by teaching permaculture teachers who are locally adapting this around the world - finding ways to apply the planet care ethics of earth care, people care and fair share. We host global conversations and learning communities on 6 continents.

We teach permaculture teachers, host permaculture courses, host Our Permaculture Life YouTube, and offer free monthly film club and masterclass.

We broadcast from a solar powered studio in the midst of a permaculture ecovillage food forest on beautiful Gubbi Gubbi country. I acknowledge this is and always will be Aboriginal land, pay my respects to elders past and present, and extend my respect to indigenous cultures and knowledge systems across the planet.
