Jenny Allen lives in the hinterland about 30 km inland from the Queensland Sunshine Coast in the rolling hills of Maleny. She has designed over 100 Permaculture gardens and taught in countries such as Jordan and the Palestinian Territories. She has a Double Major in Politics, a Diploma in Permaculture and a Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. While studying for her University Exams she cycled 1200km across Australia's Nullabor Desert. The ABC has featured Jenny and her Permaculture garden. She told the ABC that she loves to stop doing and simply be in the garden as if she is part of it. The garden is like a sanctuary for her but also her home where she can have fun, peace, tranquillity, food, entertainment, firewood and insights into the mysteries of nature. In Jenny's words "just being here is contentment enough".
