France

Mudita Sanctuary

The animal sactuary of about 20 ha close to Bergerac in France had some issues with errosion and degradation of the pasture areas.

Through a one week consultancy on site we were able to come up with a plan to manage the waterflow over the property in a benefitial way and create more abundance in fodderproduction for the animals, while protecting the pastures and forest, step by step.

“Ariane and Nastassia, keep up the good work and your passion for the creation in whole!”

Living in, From and With nature

Farmland transformation

This ~3 ha farm had a lot of recourses already at hand.
But the customer did not really know where to start and how to implement Permaculture principles.
Together, we worked on her greatest needs and how these could be met coherently on her premises.

With the site plan and the accompanying slide-deck, we were able to give her a starting point and show her the next steps that are now necessary, to realize her dream of living with and in nature.

“Daniela, you will rock this. Go and build your permaculture paradise!”

Portugal

Permaculture Work-Experiance

Oh what an amazing time we had with this Permaculture Work-Experiance in the heart of Portugal. A dutch couple is reviving an old farm of ~2ha, at the food of the serra da estrela mountains.

Together with a small group of people we installed mainly waterharvesting features such as Swales and a rainwater tank (in ferrocement technique).

“Jules & Jeanine, you are inspiring, fun and an amazing couple. Continue the good work you´ve started.”

Sicily

Tourism & Agriculture

At this ~30 ha large mountain area in southern Sicily, our customer wants to combine highclass tourism and highend Agricultural Products.
To do so we came up with a strategy to master the harsh conditions in the mountain area and bring it to a higher state in succession, fast!
Therefore we implementet a testplot to validate our ideas and adopt according to our observations.

“Thank you Zeno (and team) for your trust and great passion to `do the things right´. And thanks to Hoa, my Co-Designer, you are precious beyond measure!”

Food, Bonsai & Bees Garden

Garden in layers

This newly established garden will produce a lot of food for its owners and for beneficial insects such as bees. The outdoor area is divided into numerous individual areas. This creates many different flairs depending on where you are in the garden. Given the hillside location, the concept plays a lot with terracing and dry stone walls. They are not just good looking, but also water harvesting structures. Raised beds, berry & herb beds, and fruit trees will provide the young family with fresh, nutritious food. A worm hotel contributes to the garden’s circular economy, so that waste is put to good use. A centerpiece for the optics forms among other things the Bonsai Pergolla, which the owner will equip with numerous ” treasures “.
“Thank you Corinna & Michl for your friendship and kindness. I appreciate both very much.”

Permaculture in the desert

Mosque-yard in Jordan

The cooperation of five permaculturists resulted in the design for the restructuring of the yard of this mosque in Juwafat Al-Kafrayn. Once implemented, this garden will vividly demonstrate to the community of believers what can be accomplished, even under such harsh, local conditions of the dead sea valley.
“Thanks Katharina K., Jules A., Louis J. & Petrus A. for beeing such nice team-mates. You realy rocked it!”

Healthy Food

Community Garden

Through the initiative of the Tourism & Culture Association Wackersdorf-Steinberg am See, as well as the Garden and local beautification Associations, in cooperation with Erwin Kiefer, the first beds of the community garden were established. Further development, designing and implementation was done with our support and permaculture advice.
“A huge THANK YOU to Anton Z. who embeded me as a consultant and trusted me right from the beginning.”

integrated beds-Project

Experimental Plot

In my hometown village I was able to create some integrated beds and treesystem. It mimics the forest ecosystem and relies on different layers of food-plants. Within 3 months the system was producing vigorously different types of herbs, berries, veggie and fruit.
“Thanks to my parents who let me go wild on this. And my cousine who supports me with a whole lot of horse-manure :)”

Regensburg, Germany

Productive Home Garden

Every new house should have a food garden with it. It´s a wise decision to incooporate a permaculture designer into the planing of the house-site already. This way you don´t miss any potential you might have on your ground.
“Jens & Lisa, thanks for trusting me in the early stage of my career as a Permaculture-Designer & Consultant. It means a lot to me.”
