About

Network was created in 2018 with the support of the International Visegrad Fund to represent permaculture centers, designers and experts from Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine. The project is amied at pooling the educational resources (courses, visits, volunteering and apprenticeship opportunities), creating expert database, facilitating planting material exchange (with the accent on preserving rare and local varieties and promoting food diversity  and  biodiversity), and supporting permaculture centers by creating platform for product marketing and community investment.

Join and Contribute

Please, fill this form to present your center on the map or offer your expert or design services on this web-site. Permaculture centers must be first certified by their domestic permaculure organization (Permaculture (CS), Hungarian Permaculture Association, PERMAKULTURA.EDU.PL, Permaculture SK, NGO "Permacultrue in Ukraine").

Our international network will not function without the help of dedicated volunteers. We need the editors for the bulletin of permaculture centers, help in composing profiles of centers, with setting up the seed bank and market / investment platform for the centers, communication facilitators (admins for our Facebook page and Twitter channel; especially if you have any creative ideas how can we communicate better). And we are open for your creative ideas if you are ready to contribute to their implementation! Please, Email us (permavisegradpublic(et)googlegroups.com) or contact in Facebook messenger.

Instructions

Here we share our collective advises for centers / best practices on how to organize the education courses, host volunteers, and preserve your own seeds. Please, use this link to contribute to the document with your own unique experience.

Seedbank

There is a number of seed stations, institutes, private collections and plant breeders, as well as seed exchange fares available. But you probably know perfectly well how difficult may it be to find the necessary seeds, plant information, and there are plenty of unpopular but extremely interesting and useful plants exist. Permaculture centers as the points of biodiversity, natural protection and regeneration should be actively involved in seed saving / exchange and it popularization. They should become the seed hubs in their regions.

Please, read instruction. You can sort entries alphabetically or filter by conditions. Select Data - Filter views - Create filler view (or press filter icon in the toolbar). Click arrow above the heading of respective column. Several filters can be applied simultaneously (e.g. show only drought-tolerant plants for certain layer or with some extra characteristics). Please, contact the owner and agree on delivery (payed by receiver) and exchange conditions.
