The Oikos Network is happy to be working with Brad Peterson, Environmental Management and Landscape Architect, on a 5 year old 1.5 acre edible forest garden in Chatsworth Ontario.

The site is home to various fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, trellising edibles, herbs, root crops and a perennial vegetable garden. Also included are various plants for windbreaks, dynamic nutrient accumulation, pollination, insect and disease management, and nitrogen fixation.

This location has also been the host for 3 biennial workshops on Orchard Polycultures and various other related topics.

Check back here to see this amazing research project develop and teach us about the amazing potentials of edible forest garden systems and the symbiotic productivity of these intentionally designed ecosystems.
