Send us a textIn this episode, we usher in Series 2 and a new chapter for the podcast as our esteemed host Zoe takes maternity leave. Stepping in as the interim host is Boncho Kostadinov.For this installment, we've relocated the podcast studio to the prestigious Copenhagen Business School. The Dean of Landscaping at Green Academy Aarhus, Peder Glud and I, had the pleasure to interview Prof. Maribel Blasco and Postdoc. Albina Dioba, about their involvement in ''Permahaven'' - a permaculture garden in the heart of Copenhagen. We discuss the challenges and advantages of creating such spaces, as well as the hidden benefits and values. How we can address biodiversity, sustainability and well-being in the big city.“This green oasis in the heart of the big city wouldn’t have been possible to achieve without the support of the student organisation CBS Climate Club, and in particular their former President Sebastian Cyril Ladegourdie Olsson. Special thanks to Prof. Isabel Froes who, as co-founder and co-coordinator of Permahaven alongside Prof. Maribel Blasco, has worked tirelessly to make the garden a reality.

It is equally important to consider the role of the big flowering shrubs and trees... and how one goes about selecting the ''right'' plant. Zoe talks about KEY species and why they are so important to support life diversity.
