Do you dream of a place that gives you food, life and rest, and that grows richer every year?

This workbook takes you step by step through the same design process a permaculture designer uses, adapted for Nordic conditions.

You don’t need any previous knowledge, just your place, a pencil and your curiosity.

The workbook guides you through nine steps, from your very first dreams to a finished plan you can carry out at your own pace. You’ll learn to observe your place through the seasons, draw a base map, map sun, wind, water and frost, and place everything where it does the most good.

Each step includes exercises and printable templates, so you can work directly out on your land. It’s a tool you’ll come back to year after year.

  • Examples of plant guilds for Nordic climates
  • The 12 principles of permaculture, explained simply and as a checklist

How it works
This is a digital product, so nothing will be shipped to you. After purchase, you can download the PDF straight away. Print the templates as many times as you like and fill them in by hand, ideally out on your land.
