Homesteading Teacher

Hi! My name is Celine, and I have lived in Trøndelag since 2009. I am originally from France and trained as a civil engineer, with a PhD in tidal turbines. After many years in the research world, I chose to follow my heart: I wanted to spend my time on something that truly matters to me – growing healthy food and helping others cultivate in harmony with nature. I have fond memories of mentoring master's students with their final projects and teaching courses for hundreds of students at the university. It is with great joy that I now combine my experience from university with gardening.

​

As a mother of three, it is important to me to contribute to a better future for our children. I am passionate about growing food that is not only pesticide-free and nutritious but also regenerates the soil and promotes biodiversity. I have established several gardens and kitchen gardens and run a small market garden in Fosen, which overflows with beautiful vegetables and flowers in the summer.

I hold a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) and specialize in helping hobby gardeners and self-sufficiency enthusiasts create lush and sustainable gardens. I have conducted numerous online courses for the Norwegian Permaculture Association and also offer my own online courses on perennial edible plants. Additionally, I give lectures for garden clubs and other groups interested in learning more about gardening and permaculture.

​

When you take a course with me, you will gain a thorough understanding of the concepts, along with a practical and down-to-earth approach that makes it easy to get started—whether you are a beginner or have experience. I share my best tips and methods, inspired by permaculture, to help you succeed in growing food in a way that benefits both you and the planet.
