Charlie Headington converted his yard to a Permaculture landscape over 20 years ago. Since then he has taught and practiced Permaculture in diverse settings. He is regularly seen on GCTV in “Urban Gardening”and “Tomorrow’s Harvest”, conducts Permaculture workshops, mentors a gardening program at Greensboro Montessori School (and assists in others), and teaches courses in sustainability at UNCG. He and his wife, Debby Seabrooke have volunteered on Italian and Greek farms through WWOOF for the past 14 years. He recently built and directed the new Edible Schoolyard at the Greensboro Children’s Museum as well as Greensboro’s first public orchard, the Meeting Place, which is on the downtown Greenway. Visit his website www.earthmatters.info and contact the new Greensboro Permaculture Guild, a learning and design collective. His email is [email protected] and phone, 336-554-2116.
Abbey Piner, MHS, permaculture designer + participatory designer
Abbey earned her Permaculture Design Certificate from the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center in California in 2010 after discovering the method while helping to create the Common Good City Farm, and urban farm project in Washington, DC. She has since taught permaculture in both Raleigh, NC and Greensboro, NC. Abbey focused her Masters work at NCSU on the use of permaculture and community-engaged design in urban gardens. Abbey has a Bachelor’s degree and background in public health and community development, and this lens is a foundation of her permaculture and design methods. Abbey is now a Project Manager at the Center for Environmental Farming Systems by day, and continues to design and teach in her alternate time.
