After the Permaculture course at Rancho Mastatal and her degree in Landscape Architecture Karen was very inspired to start her own business. The business focuses on garden design based on permaculture principles combined with asthetic design. Her idea was to use ecological design solutions such as rain beds, cleaning water with phytoremediation, and creating green and lush corners for peoples homes. She also work as a park manager for a big part of the parks and green areas in Oslo municipality, Norway.
