Greening the Island – step by step
Sustainable Garden Design in Mallorca
Over the past four years, my focus has primarily been on designing and developing my own property in Mallorca. Driven by curiosity and a spirit of experimentation, I have tested various approaches from permaculture and regenerative agriculture, gained experience with the Mediterranean climate, and spent a great deal of time trying things out, observing, and conducting research.
Now is the time to share this knowledge—to, quite literally, sow it far and wide. There is much work to be done: persistent drought and declining soil fertility highlight the urgent need for new ways of interacting with our landscape. Through regenerative design, we can improve water retention, restore soil health, and make our gardens more resilient to the challenges posed by the climate.
My first client projects—focused on permaculture-based landscape design—are already bearing fruit. New projects are coming in every month, providing me with the opportunity to encounter diverse environments and unique challenges.
15 Fruit Tree Guilds for Dave
My most recent project involved designing a planting scheme for YouTube star Dave; last week, we planted the first 30 trees together. At the heart of each setup is a "guild"—a support group of plants that assist the fruit tree in its growth, accompanied by a "pioneer tree" that provides shade for the group. Dave has documented the entire process in an excellent and highly entertaining way in his latest video. Take a look!
Transform your property into a vibrant ecosystem.
A piece of land can be more than just a beautiful estate. It can store water, build fertile soil, produce healthy food, and work in harmony with nature rather than against it. I help property owners in Mallorca develop their land sustainably, guided by the principles of permaculture and regenerative land development.
Do you own a piece of land in Mallorca that you would like to develop in a sustainable way?
Every plot of land is unique. That is why I begin with a personal site visit and a comprehensive analysis of the natural conditions. Based on this, I create a bespoke development concept tailored to your goals and the specific potential of the location.
I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with others on the island, and working together—step by step—to contribute to a more diverse, fertile, and resilient landscape in Mallorca.
