Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to Reddit and we’re also pretty new to permaculture 🌿 but passionate and learning fast. My partner and I (designer & environmental engineer) just bought 7800m² of post-wildfire terraced land in Central Portugal. We’re starting from scratch and documenting our journey as we turn it into the happyhappy. An off-grid community homestead with: 🌀 food forests + native reforestation 🌱 terraced water retention + spring-fed systems 🛖 DIY hutts + wild camping 🍽️ community kitchen + dinners 🎨 a creative atelier for workshops + local exchange We’re using permaculture principles as our design lens, but we’re still in early stages and would love any input, suggestions or guidance from more experienced folks in this community.

Here’s our very first YouTube episode: 👉 https://youtu.be/2Z4dR7R8gUc

We’ll be sharing every step. The wins, the fails, the mud, the dreams. Thanks for having us here and excited to learn and grow with you all 💚

Hello all,

For this summer (end july and august), I am travelling on my motorbike through europe. And I thought why not combine this with some permaculture. I am looking for a place to stay in south/eastern europe and help you with setting up permaculture. I am a 25 year old student from the university of delft and have some free time to spend. I am not looking for a job or for money, just a place to stay or set up my tent and help out where I can to realize your permaculture dreams, as i don’t have a garden myself. Send me a dm if you need any help at all. I am great at diy’ing, hands on projects and have a lot of knowledge about rewilding.

Greetings,
