Orchard Creation in the Basque Country — Planting Fruit Trees

Creation and design of fruit orchards adapted to the oceanic climate of the Basque Country. I design human-scale, productive orchards, managed without chemicals. Variety selection is key: I prioritize old varieties suited to the local climate (Reinette apples, Williams pears, Reine-Claude plums, Goutte d'Or figs…) and rootstocks chosen according to your soil and available space. A well-designed orchard produces for decades. It is also a refuge for biodiversity, an educational space for children, and a grocery budget that decreases each year.
