Sustainable living, learning and economising

With its 20 hectare area Alpine Permaculture Schweibenalp is the largest alpine permaculture project in Switzerland. In our education centre we impart knowledge of permaculture as an integrated planning system and vital philosophy which addresses all levels of a population. We produce a wide range of herbal products, plants and seeds. In our perennial nursery we cultivate with a lot of love and dedication a wide range of permaculturally interesting plants. Our plants thrive at 1100 meters altitude and are planted, tended and harvested by hand.
