Shona Easton‑Gomez is the Permaculture Partnerships Coordinator at GFS Perth, working alongside communities to grow welcoming, permaculture‑inspired community gardens. Shona is passionate about helping people turn a patch of land into a place for connection, shared learning, and fresh food.
With a Masters of Sustainability and Climate Policy and a Bachelors of Social Work, Shona brings together technical understanding and people‑centred practice. Shona supports host organisations and volunteers to co‑design governance, share responsibilities, and keep things manageable so that gardens stay kind, inclusive, and sustainable over time.
Shona has also published research on climate‑related emotional resilience and cares deeply about creating spaces where people can feel grounded, hopeful, and connected to each other and to nature. When Shona isn’t in one of the GFS gardens, she’s found pottering in her own small patch of green, closely supervised by her labradoodle!
