About Tove
My name is Tove. I live in the ecovillage Friland in Denmark for 23 years now, where I have build my low energy house in natural materials. I am deeply connected to nature, I love to sustain my family and myself with herbs from nature combined with own garden produce, as I also love to sustain biodiversity around me.
I am a teacher and anthropologist and I have worked with permaculture in East Africa for 10 years from 2011 – 2022.
I teach Permaculture Introduction Courses (PIC) and other permaculture related courses.
