A BOOK published by a founder partner of the Sustainability Centre near East Meon has, against all the odds, won the main prize at the 2017 Garden Media Guild Awards.
The No Dig Organic Home and Garden book by Charles Dowding and Stephanie Hafferty beat major celebrity titles to win the prestigious Peter Seabrook Practical Book of the Year prize at the annual event in The Savoy Hotel, London. The book, published by Permanent Publications, which has been a partner organisation of the Sustainability Centre for the past 25 years, advocates a permaculture philosophy and has already sold more than 10,000 copies. Permaculture is the use of sustainable and self-sufficient agricultural methods.
