The Permaculture 'Eden on your balcony' will be a fun, beautiful and alluring stall, introducing people to Urban Permaculture, and how it can fit into their lives right now, on their balconies.
We are creating the stall in the cubby-house spirit of having fun and impressing ourselves, but I hope to sell things too, get good balcony products out into the world.
I'm trying to find useful, beautiful, low-waste items to sell, so if you have any ideas, please let me know. Here are some things on the list:
Seeds for flowers
All about bugs: who are your garden helpers, and how to make the rest less troublesome. Book by the wonderful, 'out-there' ladybug lady Jane Davenport

Useful and beautiful shopping bag
Something by Cecilia - I will have a go at getting Permaculture illustrations printed into cards.

The new testament:
by Permaculture co-orignator, David Holmgren
Sprouts are great permaculture - easy, daily supply of fresh greens & free entertainment, organic, no pests, always successful. You can do it for free in a jar veiled with ballerina skirt of tulle, but this European Biosnacky is beautiful like sculpture, and the humidity, everything is perfectly controlled. And so cutely named.

I saw this in Tokyo last October, and was... blown away.

Beautiful, useful and virtuous. How permacultural.
I've asked if I can promote it. Imagine one whirring above your balcony
Slinky underwear?
Other ideas are plants (but they don't seem easy to carry or manage, don't seem profitable?), Diggers organic Seed club subscriptions, my workshops, my wheelie bin and wormfarm art, mosquito nets or incense....clever hanging baskets. Wormfarms are probably too heavy, but I could try, I would love to. What else would be good?
Slinky underwear? Well, at least the doozy hanger for discreete balcony laundering.
