Key objectives for aesthetics and quality
The key objectives of our project encompass the integration of aesthetics and the enhancement of quality experiences for individuals within the community.
We seek to create an inviting and culturally enriching environment through innovative design and cultural benefits, emphasizing the natural beauty of the landscape.
To fulfill these objectives, we want to implement a range of design elements that prioritize both functionality and aesthetic appeal. This includes the development of a unique berry maze, several vegetation tunnels, and restful pergola areas adorned with fruiting climbing vines, enhancing the overall visual allure of the garden while providing shaded spaces for relaxation and communal gatherings.
Moreover, our project integrates the concept of tree guilds, incorporating companion plants with diverse roles to promote biodiversity and create a visually dynamic and ecologically rich landscape. By strategically designing areas for wildlife, such as wildlife corridors with tall grasses and wildflowers and designated food sources such as berry hedges, as well as creating suitable nesting and overwintering sites for native birds and hedgehogs, we ensure the integration of wildlife-friendly spaces within the garden.
Furthermore, we will maximize the use of vertical spaces by incorporating functional elements, such as grapevines on pergolas, to offer shading for individuals while simultaneously promoting food production, showcasing an innovative approach to space utilization and resource optimization.
By successfully integrating these design elements and cultural benefits, our project wants to serve as an example, highlighting how thoughtful and creative design strategies can not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of communal spaces but also contribute to the overall well-being and cultural enrichment of the local community.

Key objectives for inclusion
The primary objectives of our project revolved around fostering inclusion, ensuring accessibility, and promoting affordability for all members of the community. We incorporated inclusive design principles that catered to the diverse needs of individuals, irrespective of age, background, or abilities. The garden space was meticulously designed to be easily accessible, allowing seamless entry for all community members and visitors, including those with some physical disabilities.
Additionally, we integrated inclusive governance systems, fostering collaborative decision-making processes that encouraged active participation and representation from various community stakeholders.
Furthermore, we emphasized the importance of affordability by implementing cost-effective and sustainable solutions in the garden's development, ensuring that the project remained financially accessible to the entire community.
Our food-producing permaculture garden design plays a vital role in promoting food security and sustainability within the school and the broader community. By cultivating a diverse range of fruits and herbs within the garden, we ensure a long-term and sustainable supply of fresh and nutritious produce that can directly benefit the students at The Middle School and the wider Cavadinesti community.
By promoting a sustainable and community-driven approach to food production, the garden serves as a sustainable source of fresh, locally grown produce, contributing to the long-term food security and well-being of the school and the Cavadinesti community as a whole.

Innovative character
The innovative nature of our project becomes evident when compared to mainstream practices in the field. In contrast to conventional monoculture plantation "forests" and extractive agricultural methods, our permaculture garden represents a pioneering approach that prioritizes ecological balance and biodiversity conservation.
Unlike monoculture tree plantations that are essentially "green deserts", due to a lack of plant diversity, it weakens the trees instead. Our garden promotes a diverse range of native biodiversity-nurturing species, fostering natural resilience and sustainable food production.
By embracing permaculture principles, we create a self-sustaining ecosystem that minimizes environmental impact and supports local biodiversity, a significant departure from the resource-intensive and ecologically harmful practices associated with conventional food growing methods.
Moreover, in comparison to mainstream green spaces dominated by invasive species, our project showcases a concerted effort to promote native plant species and create wildlife-friendly habitats within the school grounds.
By incorporating wildlife corridors, nesting areas, and hibernation sites, our garden fosters a thriving ecosystem that not only beautifies the environment but also serves as an educational and communal space for the community.
The innovative character of our project lies in its commitment to creating a regenerative and sustainable landscape that harmonizes with the natural environment, providing long-term benefits for the ecosystem and the community.
