When creating your own permaculture project, it’s important to focus on three key aspects: zones, sectors, and patterns. These elements are essential because they shape the flow of energy, resources, and daily interactions with your land. Zones help determine where different activities and plants are placed based on how frequently you interact with them. Sectors allow you to consider external forces like wind, sun, or water flow, while patterns help organize the landscape in ways that maximize efficiency, resilience, and natural harmony. By carefully observing and applying these principles, your design becomes not only productive but also balanced and regenerative.

During our permaculture retreats at Moulin Scalagrand, we guide participants in applying zones, sectors, and patterns to their own project. Through hands-on exercises and thoughtful observation, you learn how to create a resilient and regenerative design tailored to your land and lifestyle. By the end of the retreat, you gain the confidence and skills to return home and start integrating permaculture principles into your own life.
