Project Summary

Plukrijp is a non-profit organisation that has been founded in 2007 and is an extraordinary place where people realize themselves by living and working together while caring for nature and receiving her never-ending abundance in return.

Project Description

The garden is the central point of Plukrijp and it is a beautiful example of “no-nonsense” permaculture, where different methods and techniques are being applied and demonstrated. The daily contact with the pure energy of nature helps us to live more consciously. We realize the living truth that everything is connected en that every action has an effect. Plukrijp is a place to learn to live and work together, in joy and mutual respect. All aspects of permaculture are discussed daily. This holistic approach fosters our personal growth and fills our hearts with gratitude.

Since 1972, Frank has been a organic farmer who always felt that he handled nature in a different way than his colleagues. It’s when he discovered the theories of Bill Mollison that he realized he always had been working according to the permaculture principles. Frank has experience in organic gardening for more than 40 years now and together with his interest in a wide range of topics (such as (eastern) philosophy, quantum physics, politics, sociology, anthropology, history, …) has the opportunity to offer a complete and contemporary training in permaculture, together with other teachers and ex-trainees.

At Plukrijp you will learn through practice. The theory will be discussed on the fields or around the table. Evening times are another opportunity to learn: we often watch documentaries together and have open discussions about them or enjoy social activities (such as singing circles, biodanza, love unities, …).

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.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	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.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
