The green learning revolution
PLAYtoGROW
With PLAYtoGROW, we are establishing permaculture worldwide as a practical and engaging learning experience. The reusable Infinity Tools combine theory, practice, and design in a playful way. We are establishing a network of certified trainers around the world who will both share the new educational opportunities surrounding the Infinity Tools and provide a playful introduction to permaculture.
Permaculture: Probably the most impressive before/after.
Imagine if we could tackle climate change and solve food crises by bringing people and nature back into harmony – and do it in a fun way! Permaculture opens up precisely this path: a sustainable method with global potential that combines traditional wisdom with modern knowledge. It offers answers to the most pressing problems of our time and shows how we can regenerate ecosystems and create a future worth living in. The great thing is: everyone can learn it. And that's really fun.
So: Bring permaculture into learning spaces! And thus regenerate the earth.

PLAYtoGROW: Experience permaculture through play
Permaculture? Ever heard of it? But what's really behind it?
In just two hours, this workshop will show you how to use simple principles to sustainably design balconies, terraces, gardens, and entire communities. Together, we'll experience how theory becomes practical—hands-on, creative, and with real world-saving potential.
