A garden inspired by the undergrowth
The forest garden replicates the structure of natural forests, with several layers of vegetation: trees, shrubs, and ground cover.
It creates a rich, stable, and evolving environment.
An effective plant stratification
Canopy, undergrowth, and low plants work together to protect the soil, retain moisture, and limit temperature fluctuations.
Ferns, hostas, shade perennials, and small trees structure this balance.
A response to climate change
The forest garden provides shade, reduces evaporation, and improves thermal comfort.
It also promotes biodiversity and limits the need for watering and maintenance.
