Over time, as new technologies have taken over and convenience has made our lives easier, we as a society are starting to lose skills that were once passed down from generation to generation. Things like growing your own food and knowing how to use that food seem to be a distant memory of a grandmother who knew how to do those things." — Kym OrmondSustainable Living Community Educator | Kym Ormond https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/bdd59fd0-9533-11f0-8711-89c9b64759d8-rimg-w555-h740-dc61772f-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/be511160-9533-11f0-bf66-43cf0848f50e-rimg-w1200-h674-dc484334-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/c07b9280-9533-11f0-8711-89c9b64759d8-rimg-w1109-h740-dc303130-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/smithfield-plains/permaculture-in-practice-a-year-of-skills-and-sustainability-with-kym-ormond/100001406854572899 - **Event Categories**: Workshops, Kids - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com.au%2Fe%2Fpermaculture-in-practice-a-year-of-skills-sustainability-with-kym-ormond-tickets-1406854572899 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 5, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Smithfield Plains - **state**: SA - **country**: Australia - **location**: The Precinct - **lat**: -34.683334 - **long**: 138.680029 - **full address**: The Precinct, 112 Coventry Road, Smithfield Plains, Australia ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: City of Playford - Wellbeing Hub (https://allevents.in/org/city-of-playford-wellbeing-hub/18655232) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/98190f2735447a8788e50bc01f8742dccb5201b06a5227408335c53ebf9242de-rimg-w1200-h675-dcd7dad6-gmir.jpg?v=1758271028 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/2631fdf0f51c9202d9007dc75471f89b4678db7fc857ebdc76b6dcd8b33e755e-rimg-w400-h400-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1758271027 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening?
