Before building anything, we observe. For a whole year we record sun, water, wind, soil and life on the land.
Permaculture starts with observation. To avoid designing the land from behind a desk, we follow it through a whole year: sun and shade, temperature near the forest, the stream and the meadow, water, soil, wind, animals and plants.
Everything goes into a garden journal that will help us keep improving the design for years to come.
