Drew Barr

Drew is the lead teacher for both our Certificate II and Certificate IV courses.

Drew started his permaculture journey as an avid teen gardener and chook fancier in the 1970s. After a long sojourn in the corporate world, and a life-changing experience on Black Saturday, Drew completed a Diploma of Permaculture and embarked on a new career as an educator. Over 7 years, he and his wife Angie have created the urban farm and permaculture centre at Templestowe College, which hosts APLC courses.
