CREATING THE ONE COMMUNITY FOOD FOREST

Creating the One Community food forest will begin in the first year and continue indefinitely through a
process we will share in complete detail here. In addition to building shelter in the form of Pod 1,
the Duplicable City Center, and immediate food production with hoop houses and the large-scale
gardening strategy, year one will also include soil amendment and establishing the first swales (see the Soil
Amendment Page) and phase one of the food forest and other outdoor planting schedule.

The swales will help build the water table, renew the land, and turn our property into a lush and abundant
foodscape as we implement an on-going process of “swale-mulch-plant” that moves progressively across
the landscape until the entire property has been regenerated. Phase-2 food infrastructure will
include indoor food production with the aquapini and walipini structures,

Construction of Pod 1, the Duplicable City Center, walipini/aquapini infrastructure, large-scale gardening
strategy etc. will include a zone-development approach to develop maximize beneficial plantings around
the associated earthworks for each of these locations. The immediate area surrounding each construction
project will be considered a Zone 1 with maximum diversity and more intensive cultivation and inputs.
Further out will be progressively Zoned from 2 – 4 with fewer and fewer species, needing less and less
inputs and maintenance, and possibly even progressing to the creation of a Zone 5 (true wilderness).

Maximum advantage will be taken of microclimates in order to optimize the number and diversity of

PLACEMENT SPECIFICS

Placing individual species in their appropriate locations will need to wait until we are on the property. We
are saving this decision process until we are onsite because of the complex matrix of plant needs that
must take in the specifics of the different areas of the property for maximum benefit. This includes sun and
shade requirements, cold hardiness, soil and drainage preferences, ultimate size of the plant, allelopathic
considerations, winter shadows, proximity to buildings or other structures, etc. These things combine to
make placement a nearly case-by-case decision. In an effort to maximize the stability, beauty, productivity
and self-replication of the ecosystem we create, we will employ (and open source share) as many of these
and other design criteria as possible in the development and placement of all plantings at One Community.

FOOD FOREST PLANTING AND HARVESTING

DETAILS
Our complete food forest includes a symbiotic cultivation of the following 8 key
areas: Canopy, Understory, Vines, Shrubs, Herbs, Groundcover, Root Crops, and Edge Plantings.

Listed on the pages linked below are descriptions of each of these areas and the plants we will be
growing in them in our USDA Zone 7a-7b location (some Zone 8). Where genera are listed, it
indicates that more than one species of that genus would be useful. Individual species listings
indicate that the species in question has attributes of interest that are unique to the species. Those listing
with a ( † ) indicate that these entries may be marginally adaptable onsite, and should therefore be
considered experimental.

WHERE TO PURCHASE ALL PLANTS

Here are the results of our research for purchasing all food forest and outdoor plants. Unlike
everything we will be growing in the aquapini and walipini structures and large-scale garden, we
did not price out each individual plant listed here because we wish to wait for the specific
planting plan that will be developed throughout the first year of the living on the property; a planting plan
that may evolve this list significantly. We did, however, complete sufficient research so that anyone
wishing to purchase any of the plants currently listed above will can do so.

We use the following key for all of the plant providers listed below. To jump directly to what you seek, use
your browser’s Find Function and remember to put the parenthesis around the letter code for the category
