¡FOU in the Jardin!

Helping people transform their relationship with their landscapes by creating native gardens, food forests, hedgerows, pollinator patches, and thriving backyard ecosystems

¿Who is fou?

FOU is a project started by Jean-Luc St. Pierre, dedicated to challenging the way we view the land through promoting biodiversity, regenerating ecosystems, and connecting with our local landscapes through native plants.

¿Why plant Native?

One of the most important steps we can take is identifying what NOT to plant.Native plants have evolved over thousands of years to live exactly where you are—not only are they more adapted to your land's conditions, but provide more beneficial food and habitat for all of the insects, birds, and other life that keeps our local ecosystems running.Let’s start with that.

Every garden—and every gardener—is different.That's why FOU offers several consultation options, from virtual planning sessions to on-site garden walks and ongoing seasonal support. Whether you're just getting started, or looking to take an existing project to the next level, we'll create a plan that fits your landscape, your goals, and your pace.Take a look at the available consultation options and book the one that feels right for you.

After our time together,
you'll have:

•A clearer vision for your garden or landscape

•Lessons learned from years of experimentation (and plenty of mistakes)
•The confidence to take meaningful action at your own pace
