Forest garden accepted at Stockholm university!
19/03/12
When the Power Landscapes project began, combined with the NESS conference, at the Stockholm University a year ago, the New Beauty Council and Tillväxt made a proposal: Lets install a forest garden at the campus, which allows students to meet and eat together.
This is now a reality!
As far as I know, Stockholm University will have Stockholms first real forest garden!

Power Landscapes #1 ends
16/06/11
Today the conference ends, and the starting point of the art project Power Landscapes was closed. I packed everything together with artist Ola Nilsson, and the biggest problem was – what to do with the fish from Scaropni’s Malthus? Too small to eat, too alive to kill. Eventually they got a VIP ride to an aquarium, all by themselves. (Photo: Po Hagström)
