Last week we visited Jerusalem 🧚🏼

We had fun dipping in the spring of Ein U*i in the Jerusalem hills, seeing Rina’s yurt and Al having a permaculture lesson of ecology in her house and going around Ein Kerem with Achinoam!

Not only did we see amazing views but we learned about permaculture in a different setting and the importance of Jerusalem in Judaism and how Ein Kerem is a center for Jewish and spiritual life. 🌞🌻

A HUGE mazal tov and kol hakavod to Sophie, an Eco Israel alum on finishing her permaculture project! During Eco Israel the participants do a theoretical permaculture project that puts together all of the knowledge and tools that they have learned throughout the program. Sophie decided to do a permaculture garden on the roof of which is an amazing program in which she had participated in.

During eco israel she learned how to:
✅ Plant a garden using permaculture priciples like seasons of plants, compaction plants and more.
✅ How to use power tools and to make her own garden beds and furniture.
✅ How to use recycled material for her benefit.
✅ How to compost.
✅ Overall to plan and execute a project including tools, budget and ecology!

We are SO proud of you and the hard work you have done! 🌻🌞
