  • Description

    Hi, my name is Johanna, I'm 34 years old and from Copenhagen, Denmark.

    I’m studying to be a gardener. I'm very interested in learning as much as I can about regenerative farming, soil heath, permaculture, market gardening, sustainability and ecology. My dream is to one day have my own farm in Denmark.

    I used to be a historian and was working in an archive for some years, but was drawn to working outside and with something that felt more meaningful.

    During 2025 I've spent three months on a regenerative farm in New Zealand growing food plants for heritage seeds and six months in Sweden at a biodynamic gardening school, where I was growing vegetables and fruit for the schools farm shop and restaurant.

    I enjoy meeting new people, working together to produce something and learn new skills from each other along the way.

    Send me a message if you have any questions :)

  • More details about your skills

    I am helpful, happy, fun and proactive. I like to work outside all day in all types of weather.

    I'm a gardener student and know gardening work: Weeding, sowing, transplanting, harvesting, watering, soil care, making compost, making and adding natural fertiliser, binding up plants, removing side shoots, lawn mowing, and much more.

    I like cooking and have experience cooking for many people. In 2024 I worked as a cook on a sailing boat in the Arctic in Svalbard and Norway, where I prepared three daily meals for about twenty four guests.

    I'm curious about learning new recipes and cooking from different countries cuisines.

    I like hiking and foraging mushrooms, herbs and berries.
