Workshop & tour
We are open to all dreamers around the world willing to live with Mother Nature
Gaarawé village is a self-sustainable community project located in Khao Sok area, in the south of Thailand. It’s open to all dreamers around the world willing to live, grow and flourish together in harmony with Mother Nature. Since 2015, Gaarawe has been growing with the help of thousands of volunteers and partners.
We have survived storms and floods, and even a global pandemic.
Gaarawe is still here because we are able to adapt to its environment, just like the flower we’ve borrowed our name from.
PERMACULTURE
What We Are
Permaculture is a set of design principles that holistically copy what we see in natural ecosystems. While many principles apply to farming and how we consume food, every aspect of life is covered by permaculture and the principles that Mother Earth gives us.
Below we cover how permaculture principles apply to Gaarawe Village, but for more on the ethics and philosophy take a look at this free course collated by the filmmakers behind the Final Straw documentary about slow farming.
Built Environment
Water: We pump water directly from the river to our own water tanks
Tools and technology
Work in the garden is done with manual tools, so that our activity is not too invasive.
