Barb completed a Horticulture diploma which started her food growing passion. She then moved to Australia to mentor under Bill Mollison (one of the founding fathers of Permaculture) and lived in an eco-village for 9 years.  During that time, she taught, designed, implemented and co-created a video about Permaculture.  She has practiced/taught Permaculture in Canada, Australia, Palestine, Spain, China and studied Permaculture systems in Nepal.  Barb is currently a middle-school teacher with the Calgary Board of Education specializing in online learning.
