Assortment - Bountiful garden & blazing sun

Discover our assortment of 12 carefully selected varieties for strata cultivation. This method, inspired by forest gardens, offers a range of solutions to heat and drought constraints, creating a self-sufficient space where each plant offers its skills to the others, with the aim of maintaining a stable, resilient ecosystem.

Protective varieties

Tall, fast-growing plants capable of withstanding heat and wind can act as veritable plant barriers. Planted in parallel rows running north-south, or facing the prevailing wind, they provide natural shade during the hottest hours, or shelter for more sensitive crops underneath.

Sow amaranth and sorghum varieties densely and as early as possible to create a protective screen.

Intermediate varieties

Sheltered from the taller plants during the hottest hours, this layer can include all kinds of species from 30 cm to 1 m in height. Sow these varieties of tomato, fennel and agastache, under cover, before planting them parallel to and to the west of the tall protective plants.

Covering varieties

Low, spreading plant species - such as kiwano, tetragonia and California poppy - protect the soil from bad weather and limit water evaporation. Plant them below intermediate species.

Underground varieties

Sow these beet, radish and turnip varieties directly in the ground, in the shade of covering plants.
