Herbal journey

Join us in the perma garden

If you join us in the garden, you will gain knowledge about producing food with inspiration from nature’s ecosystems, and you will get to know wild nature’s food.
It is a gift for you who want to be inspired to a meaningful lifestyle that cares for the earth and people.
Permaculture is a holistic design philosophy that strives to unite human and natural systems and bring them into harmony with each other.

Meet the teacher

Sara Overgaard

Sara is an organic farmer from Norway, and has a certificate in permaculture design. She has a great passion for plants, and loves to spread the joy for her passion.

She lives between field and forest, a few km the from school, where she and her family are in the process of converting a country house based on the principles of permaculture. She also grows sustainable flowers in the company ‘Markblomst’.

The subject

We examine the customs of old traditions, but also use, among other things, the principles of permaculture in a creative process towards finding forms of enjoyment that can stand as a worthy alternative to the values of consumer society.

We must have soil under our nails, our hands on the drawing board, on adventures in the countryside and experience the joy of harvesting our own crops.

The school is beautifully situated close to both forest and beach.

We take nature as a learning space as a starting point and will go on several inspiring trips out into the countryside with a focus on e.g. understanding of nature, gathering, knowledge of plants and immersion in nature.

The subject also includes excursions where we see examples of different forms of cultivation.

In our community of practice, you can make a lasting impression by further developing the school’s existing gardens and creating new green oases yourself. We use various tools to design self-sustaining cultivation systems both on a small and large scale. From self-sufficiency in a studio apartment to the regenerative forest agriculture that points to the food production of the future.

“Even though I had no knowledge of herbs, it was easy to understand! Herbal Journey has always been super cozy and exciting. I at least know three plants that end in officinalis, more than I did before. Sara is skilled and great at teaching and sharing her knowledge about plants.”
