The Balkan Ecology Project is a permaculture-inspired, grassroots project based in South Eastern Europe, Bulgaria. We are devoted to the design and exploration of ecologically-sound human habitats and serve as a demonstration and education site for visitors from all over the world. Our efforts aim to develop thoughtful approaches to food, shelter, community and commerce, while promoting and preserving the unique biological diversity associated with the Balkan region and the world at large. We run courses and events throughout the year and a forest garden / permaculture plant nursery.
OUR BIO-NURSERY

​We rear natural plants for natural gardens During the dormant seasons we send out plants all over Europe, most of which we nurture in our own polyculture gardens. Our plants are reared on home made composts and worm castings. The polyculture planting schemes help to repel pests and ensure pathogen-free plants. We do NOT use commercial chemicals or practice any methods harmful to the environment. As a consequence our plants are better prepared for life outside the nursery set up.
