The "Herbarium in Permaculture" project at the Research and Educational Station in Swojczyce is an initiative that combines traditional herbal cultivation methods with the principles of permaculture, creating an ecosystem similar to the natural environment.
The first phase of the project includes preparing raised beds in wooden boxes, which will be made from natural materials and protected with natural resin. Additionally, a frame with an arched forest net canopy will be installed to provide shade and support for climbing plants. The project also envisages the installation of an irrigation system, including a garden sprinkler creating a mist, as well as a system of tubes and gutters for excess water drainage, along with a rainwater tank and water pump.
The second phase involves purchasing and planting herbs and connecting a water feature. In the third phase, an educational template and herbal mixture recipes will be created, allowing for the full utilization of the herbarium's potential. The entire project combines ecological, aesthetic, and educational aspects, creating a unique space for learning and relaxation in harmony with nature.

The project envisions creating a special space in the veranda of building E3 on the Biskupin campus, dedicated to students and staff, which would serve not only as a place for brief rest and napping but also as an educational center. The goal of the project is to increase awareness about the importance of sleep for physical and mental health, which impacts work efficiency and creativity. The designed space would allow users not only to rejuvenate through short rest but also to create opportunities for deepening interpersonal relationships. Additionally, the project plans to establish an educational platform where information about the impact of sleep on the body, the effects of sleep deprivation, and factors that diminish its quality can be found. The project also includes a series of lectures on sleep and circadian rhythms, with open access for all interested individuals. This initiative aims not only to improve living and working conditions on the university campus but also to enhance the overall quality of life of its community.
