Are you dreaming of an abundant garden that gives plentiful food, demands less maintenance, and works together with nature?  Join our immersive and inspiring weekend course (In Indre Fosen, Norway) where you will learn how to create your personal permaculture design!

This comprehensive program is designed to equip participants with the knowledge to set up their gardens and the practical skills needed for less food reliance.

Course Objectives:

How to apply Permaculture design in your garden

• We work with maps of each participant's plot and identify needs and resources (solar conditions, wind, water, and soil composition).

Planning a kitchen garden 

• Identify best-suited plant varieties, plan an annual cycle for sowing and harvesting, and learn about methods of how to extend the growing season.

Seed sowing

• Learn everything you need to succeed with pre-cultivation and direct sowing for a head start into the growing season.

Course Structure:

The course is suitable for everyone, whether you are a beginner or have experience with cultivation. We have planned theory courses, group activities, and discussions inside and practical tasks outside.

Each course will also include small excursions to other garden with different geography and climate.
