DESIGNS
To strengthen permaculture design skills Aleksandra is taking a Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design with the UK Permaculture Association. This process is based on self-managed planning, work and learning. As a result, a Diploma Portfolio of minimum 10 Designs should demonstrate proficiency in Permaculture design and a thorough understanding of the Permaculture ethics and design principles.
Forest Garden
Designing the first forest garden of your own is a thrilling experience. Getting to plan the plant guilds, the different layers from ground covers to climbers and watch it grow significantly in just a few years is a wonderful adventure. This project is about transforming 100m2 of lawn into a small forest garden that can sustain a family of five with perennial vegetables and berries.
Fruit Orchard
In this design, about 600 m2 of lawn are used to establish a permaculture fruit orchard, focusing on fruit and berry production, that in the future can sustain as with a variety of fruits. And at the same time we intended to create an excellent habitat for wildlife, focusing on variety of herbaceous flowering ground covers as a means to attract more varied insect life.
