The garden will function as a hub for learning and disseminating knowledge about regenerative social and environmental practices inspired by permaculture principles. It will also enhance urbanbiodiversity (in collaboration with Frederiksberg municipality), and will also functionas a restorative space within the campus both for CBS students and employees. Key wordsfor the garden are: organic and bottom-up initiatives and growth, local commitment, slow tempo and rhythms, learning through sensory experience, andemphasis on collective, collaborative processes as end goals.
