Meet us at I Love Garden

Ronneby Brunnspark, 6–7 September 2025:
A Weekend of Gardens, Inspiration & Sustainability

This weekend we’re excited to join the I Love Garden exhibition in Ronneby Brunnspark, a vibrant garden fair filled with plants, inspiration, and activities for all ages. You’ll find us there on 6–7 September, where we’ll share fresh honey from our beehives, edible plants from our garden, and hands-on permaculture ideas — all part of our mission to inspire sustainable living and to introduce our upcoming course in permaculture this autumn.

What you’ll find at our stand

Even though we can’t bring all of our homemade tools this time, we look forward to giving you a taste — quite literally — of our permaculture journey. At our stand you’ll discover:

  • Fresh honey from our beehives – available for tasting and purchase.
  • Special edible plants – grown in our garden.
  • A planter box and olla irrigation system – simple, water-saving tools in action.
  • Homemade strawberry jam, rhubarb stalks, and pickled gherkins – on display as inspiration (with recipe ideas to take home).

Our stand is about more than products; it’s about sparking ideas and showing how sustainability can become part of everyday life.

Growing a Sustainable Life

When our family left the Netherlands in 2016, we first settled in Småland, where we began experimenting with gardening and small-scale self-sufficiency. In 2019, we moved on to Blekinge, where we’ve continued to deepen our journey and grow roots in permaculture.

In 2020, it took family effort to dig more deep vegetable beds in the rocky garden.

Since then we’ve shaped our garden into a place where food, bees, water, and creativity come together. From harvesting about 10% of our fresh produce, to keeping two beehives, collecting rainwater, and building our own tools from upcycled materials, Ecotism has become both our way of life and our way of inspiring others.

Looking ahead – Permaculture course this autumn

If you’re curious to learn more, this autumn we’ll be hosting an introductory course in permaculture together with Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan. It’s a natural next step for anyone who wants to design a more sustainable lifestyle of their own.

Come Say Hello!

We hope to see you in Ronneby this weekend at I Love Garden. Stop by our stand, taste some honey, take inspiration from our garden, and have a chat with us about building a life that works with nature.
