I am happy to help you with design, consultancy, construction and structural monitoring of your food forest.

 

The basis of the collaboration always lies in an interplay of:

  • Your desires, needs, goals and intention in relation to the place.

  • The situation of the natural environment at the start of the collaboration.

  • The previous experience and knowledge about the site.

  • The creative development process we engage in together.

  • The becoming process of the land, where does the land want to develop towards?

  •  

To smoothly shape this cooperation, I have developed a thorough methodology over the years to arrive at a solid and professional design.

If desired, I am also happy to help you develop a community/network around the food forest.

Below, I explain the different forms of cooperation. In which the food forest design process is the most comprehensive.

 

We can always have a video call to get acquainted.

Food forest design trajectory

  • Do you have a dream for a food forest?

  • Not sure where to start?

  • Do you need a clear master plan and/or detailed planting plan?

  • Need support in channeling your wishes and desires?

  • Are you looking for extra content and inspiration?

food forest collaboration

Within the Food Forest Design Traject we work systematically from a sketch to a master plan, planting plan and phasing plan .

With these plans in hand, you can create your food forest over a period of several years.

​

A Food Forest Design process takes place over several contact days, with time in between for reflection and observation.
Experience shows that spreading the design over time makes the final design stronger.

A food forest is a system that requires a close relationship with the manager of the system, so it is an added value to be strongly involved from the start.

I am happy to share all my experience and knowledge throughout the process.

​

Roughly speaking, the food forest design process looks like this:

​

  • Field observation, field inventory, site analysis and inventory of dreams, desires, goals.

  • Intentional moment (optional)

  • Determining the character of a food forest in terms of goals and dreams

  • Sketch phase

  • Master plan

  • Planting plan

  • Phasing plan towards construction

  • Advice on legislation

​

Consultancy session (2- 6 h)

* Do you have questions about your garden, terrain or food forest?
* Do you have technical questions or questions about structural maintenance?

*Would you like to know how to maintain your garden or food forest in a low-maintenance way?

Then I would be happy to come by for one or more consultancy sessions .


We start with an observation session on the terrain. I explore your desires, questions, needs and your place. Also more applied or technical questions can be answered. We can also look at the future image of the terrain.

This first session lasts 2 to (max.) 6 hours. During this session we will see if further advice is needed afterwards.

​

 

Implementation

After design and/or consultancy, I can also assist you with the construction and planting of your project.

I can roll up my sleeves with you or you can leave the execution completely to me. I will then provide the materials and adapted planting material.

For implementation I regularly work together with colleagues who have experience with ecological projects.

Sometimes volunteers come along who want to learn the trade through practical experience. They are then engaged through an affiliated VZW or the family or the local community is involved.

Usually a quote is drawn up for the requested work, so that you know in advance what to expect.

Succession

After planting, I will be happy to help you with the structural follow-up of your process.
This way we can agree on a contact moment each year or season for follow-up and adapted to your needs. Usually this is in the form of a collaboration day.
This could be about:

  • Management

  • Prune

  • Planting

  • ....
