Edible Landscape Planning | Syntropic System Design
Remote design and consultancy services to transform your land—backyard or acreage—into a productive source of food.
We design edible ecosystems where fruit trees, support plants, and groundcovers work together to regenerate soil and produce abundant food.
Start with a Food Forest Patch - a small edible ecosystem built around a single tree and its supporting plant community.
100% Remote Design, delivered anywhere in the world.

Design Framework
Food Forest Patch
Let's get started
Our services:
Design Framework
This design organizes the property into productive zones for fruit trees and vegetable gardens. By observing natural water patterns and sun paths, the plan
strategically places elements to "catch and store" energy and water, reducing the need for external inputs.
Water Management Design
Capture and manage water naturally to nourish plants.
Planting and Site Planning
Identifying the best spots for plants.
Tree and Plant Enhancement
Boost existing trees and plants with companion species and care strategies.
Food Forest Patch Design
I develop your custom food forest design map, species list, and installation and management guide. You receive all files by email, followed by an Implementation Support Call.
*You’ll receive an Installation Guide with all materials, plants, and tools listed.
- Setup is designed to be quick and straightforward, whether you install it yourself or hire a local landscaping team.
- Time and complexity vary by project scale—small food‑forest patches can often be installed in just a few hours.
- Larger or more complex designs can be implemented in three different ways: All at once, In planned phases or Broken into small, manageable tasks.
This completes the full design process.
The Result: A living garden that produces food, build soil, and becomes more productive every year.
How can we best support you? Contact us to get your project started.
To make the most of our call, you’re welcome to share a few basic details about your land and your goals. This helps us start with clarity and move forward efficiently.
Once I receive your information, I’ll reach out to schedule a call where we’ll review your site’s potential and align what’s possible with your vision.
The Benefits: Why Syntropic Design?
Accelerated Growth: By mimicking natural forest evolution (succession), plants grow faster and healthier than in traditional gardens.
High-Density Harvests: We use vertical layers (strata) to grow more food in less space—stacking root crops, shrubs, and canopy trees together.
Self-Fertilizing Soil: The system creates its own mulch and nutrients through strategic pruning (Chop-and-Drop), eliminating the need for external fertilizers.
Water Resilience: High-density planting and organic biomass keep the soil cool and moist, significantly reducing the need for irrigation.
Zero Waste: Every plant has a purpose—either to feed you or to feed the system.
The Food Forest Patch Design Overview
Each garden patch functions like a small ecosystem where trees, shrubs, and ground plants support each other.
Area: 3– 9 m diameter (flexible shape, adapted to your space).
Trees: 1 (Large, Medium or Small) fruit tree. 1-4 Medium or Small fruit trees/shrubs.
Other plants: Early fruiting and fast-growing plants. Fertility and biomass plants.
Includes:
Strategic Plant Selection: I choose the specific "consortia" (plant communities) of food and support species that will thrive in your soil.
Optimal Spacing & Strata Mapping: I design the vertical and horizontal layout, ensuring every plant occupies its perfect niche without competition.
Implementation Guide (How to Plant): Step-by-step instructions on how to set up the system to trigger the "succession pulse" from day one.
Management & Biomass Roadmap: A clear plan for pruning and "Chop-and-Drop" techniques to ensure the system becomes self-fertilizing and high-yielding.
