Become a permaculture experience center

From wasteland to food forest

A bare schoolyard, a dreary strip of lawn, a forgotten patch of wasteland. We see not desolation in these places, but rather dormant paradises. With the power of permaculture and our PLAYtoGROW method, we awaken this untapped potential. Together, we transform these spaces into vibrant ecosystems.

Perhaps the most beautiful thing about permaculture is the before and after.

Our approach directly connects education with real-world action. We use our PLAYtoGROW workshop to make permaculture tangible and to anchor knowledge that will have a lasting impact. At the same time, we harness the collective energy of the group in the Permablitz project to transform the site in record time.

Here you can see the difference before one of our workshops in May 2025 and after the third workshop in October 2025.

Before After

Double the Win!

For the participants
(The mindset shift)

You come as active participants. Instead of simply following instructions, you playfully learn the principles of permaculture. You understand how to apply this logic to your own garden, balcony, or surrounding space. The feeling of looking out at a transformed place in the evening is pure self-efficacy.

For the location
(The Permablitz effect)

Creating a natural garden requires a lot of energy at the beginning. What individuals painstakingly accomplish over weeks, the group can achieve in a single weekend. We reduce the high initial effort by pooling our resources and leaving behind a system that works immediately.

The format: Learning through experience

Phase: PLAYtoGROW

Here we understand the "how" and the "why." We use the Infinity Tools (StonePaper & Beenius) to truly grasp permaculture. We design exemplary gardens or design the actual space together, that is transformed through Permablitz.

  • Learning through play: We sketch on StonePaper, erase mistakes, and build models. This way, you internalize zones, sectors, and cycles intuitively.
  • Enthusiastic inspiration: Agnes Friedrich and Denny Ehrlich will guide you as facilitators. We'll provide short, concise input and support you in finding your own solutions.
Phase: Permablitz

Then it's time to get out the shovels. We're implementing the transformation of the site. We're shaping the terrain, planting the first layer of the forest garden, and experiencing firsthand what many hands can achieve.

  • Guided by the Food Forest Expert: UZ Dinkelmann takes over here. UZ is our Forest Gardening Expert with an endless wealth of knowledge. Through his years of expertise in design and implementation, he guides us through the process. He takes great pleasure in transforming the land with you and sharing his knowledge directly on the ground.

In the video: How it works!

We install systems that work for you.

We plant productive cycles.

We install a productive operating system that will provide you with long-term support and reduce your workload.

Intelligent laziness (self-regulation):
We design based on nature's model. Once the system is established, it largely regulates itself. Maintenance costs are drastically reduced because nature does the work.

More than just greenery (real benefits): We consistently focus on useful plants. We plant fruit trees, nuts, herbs,...

Who is this ideal for?

For the education sector
(Schools, daycare centers, universities)

We transform unused spaces into valuable learning landscapes. The result is vibrant outdoor classrooms where children and young people explore food security and cycles with all their senses.

For Organizations, Associations & Companies

Create a visible symbol of your commitment. Your team will grow together through a meaningful task. "Team-Growing" instead of "Team-Building." Meanwhile, your grounds will become a flourishing, ecological showcase.

Financing & Funding

Good funding opportunities

The conversion of brownfield sites into educational and climate protection centers is very popular. Many of our projects can be financed through public funds or foundations.

We will support you in this:
We cannot submit the application for you, but we will provide you with the substantive arguments.

  • We help with the research of suitable funding opportunities.
  • We provide text modules for ecological and educational purposes.
  • We provide support with the application outline.

Don't let the budget be the obstacle. Talk to us about it.

Our shared path: 5 steps to transformation

Free consultation

We'll get to know each other in 30 minutes. You'll tell us about your vision, and we'll answer some initial questions.

Site visit & potential analysis

We will visit your location (real or digital) and together develop initial possibilities for implementation.

Concept & Financing

We tailor the scope of the project based on goals, budget, and location. We also actively assist in advocating for funding opportunities.

It's STARTING (The Event)

Together we'll tackle it. We'll learn (PLAYtoGROW Workshop), we'll create, and we'll transform (Permablitz).

Handover & Outlook:

We are handing the project over to you. You will receive a maintenance plan and the knowledge to ensure the place continues to grow and thrive in the long term.
