In 2009 I started my official journey with Permaculture by taking a Permaculture Design Course taught by the amazing Aranya in England.
I have since then successfully tried to implement as many of the permaculture principles in my life and in what I do.
After the course in 2009 I have also signed up for the next step, the Permaculture Diploma. Various moves, children and a generally busy life have slowed down the journey to last almost eight educational years, but my portfolio has been handed in now.
On this page I want to share some of my designs to inspire you and help you to also integrate permaculture in your life.
1. My first garden where I spent six years and started my journey of gardening, growing and permaculture. Many or most of the posts on this blog are from when I lived there. (PDF 103 MB!)

5. We moved from the apartment to an old nursery which offered lots of work, but also awesome opportunities. It came with old greenhouses and here’s my design for a multifunctional greenhouse (PDF 24 MB)

6. I started studying Japanese at university, then neglected it for a few years before restarting my studying and implementing the language in daily life to keep more at it. (PDF 5 MB)
