Kym Ormond presenting a sustainable living Adelaide workshop

Ready to relearn forgotten skills and return them from “uncommon sense” to common sense life skills?

 

I love helping people learn to grow food, cook the food they’ve grown and have fun while doing it. That’s my jam.

My sustainable living workshops are often subsidised by local Adelaide councils for community and offered at accessible prices, ensuring everyone can access these key skills and traditional learnings.
