Permaculture, an ethic

We adhere to the principles of permaculture, which are found in most of our traditional cultures.

  •  Earth care
  •  People care
  •  Fair share

The principles of permaculture design lead us first to observe and interact. So we will follow the raspberry trees already present in the sun, along the paths, and plant red currants, blackberries and other fruit shrubs along the paths on the edge of the forest. In the rorest you will find walnut trees, woody garlic, maple with its sweet syrup helping the wild grapes to climb. All these trees offer their shade and bark to mushrooms and ferns. It will be our pleasure to share with you the beauty of the flowers and our fine herbs that grow in the sunshine. Members will be invited to participle in the culture and harvesting.
