Practical Permaculture

Practical Permaculture is a natural extension for those studying Permaculture. In Vestjyllands Højskoles demonstration garden, you'll learn to develop and maintain an outdoor permaculture area.

 

In this class, we take the knowledge we learned in Permaculture class out to the gardens. We will use permaculture thinking in our everyday lives as a tool to create our shared green future. You will get a broad theoretical introduction to Permaculture as a design tool by looking at many practical examples.

 

During the winter, when the earth is frozen, we work with design tasks where we apply permaculture principles and design methods. In the spring, warmer weather arrives, and we'll bring these sustainable designs to life.

​

In "Practical Permaculture," we use gardening practices to see Permaculture in practice.
 

Techniques include herb spirals, forest gardens, lasagne beds, ornamental trees, insect hotels, and much more! By combining these elements and by combing our creativity, we will create a fertile and edible garden that cares for both people and nature.

This class is for students already enrolled in Permaculture.
