Project Summary

Design of a resilient garden for a young association of Lugo (RA) called " The Pomegranate House" with several type of edible garden, Forest garden, windbreaks, ponds, etc...

Project Description

The field is a square piece of flat land (30x32 meters) close to an urban park, gardens and houses.

WEATHER

We are in cool temperate climate with not very cold winters (the minimum temperatures are around zero), and dry hot summers (the average rain for the last 10 years is 550 mm). The elevation are less than 10 meters on the mean sea level. The winds are mainly NW in autumn and winter and SE and E in spring-summer.

I have carried out a topographic survey in order to geographically set the area and to evaluate the land gradients.

DESIGN FOR REAL

Very poor soil

Not a lot of money and time to invest

NEEDS

Good food, a place to share with other people from the communith, relax.

WANTS

To realize the Association projects, to work outside in the field, a coverd area for the Association meetings, gardens for growing food, trees and flowers

ZONES

The covered structure for the Association meeting is in zone 0, the gardens (synergistic, raised beds and keyhole) are in zone 1, an open field covered with flowers and a tree of pomegranate (the symbol of the Association) with some benches all around are in Zone 2, the Forest garden is in Zone 3, the windbreak fence and the two ponds connected with a swale are in zone 4.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
