Northern landscape

A method meets the North

Practical syntropic knowledge from warmer climates meets a northern European landscape — and a family asking how it can be adapted.

Greg Ints

Born and raised in Australia, Greg learned to plant seeds before he could read. Over seven years of syntropic practice — home blocks, house gardens, larger projects — built the practical base.

When he first encountered syntropic agriculture, the idea felt clear: nature already shows the path. The work is to observe, adapt and share.

Family roots in the Kuldīga region brought the work to Latvia. Home base: Trīsūļi, Kurzeme — a living laboratory for cold-climate adaptation.

Why Latvia?

Latvia is the starting point and living laboratory — not the boundary of the vision. From Northern Europe we aim to serve temperate and cold climates across the wider North.

What we believe

Honesty

We share successes and failures. Unproven ideas stay experiments, not claims.

Living systems

Soil, plants, water, biodiversity and people belong in one conversation.

Time

Regeneration and learning both take seasons. We honour that pace.

Share

What we learn should be shared — so others can begin with more confidence.

How we work on the ground

Test → observe → learn → adapt → document → teach.

  1. 1

    Prepare with intention

    Shape beds and structure so roots, mulch and observation have a clear home.

  2. 2

    Build soil life

    Biomass, mineral support and cover protect and feed the system — not only the crop.

  3. 3

    Plant in relationships

    Fruit, support species and understory work together — cooperation instead of isolation.

  4. 4

    Learn together

    Field days and volunteer hands turn theory into living rows and shared knowledge.

Demonstration & practice

Living laboratory · Latvia

Field work such as the Zadiņi trial rows near Riga is part of learning in public — real beds, real seasons, real collaboration.

We track structure, species combinations and management so others can learn from both progress and difficulty.

How practice looks on the ground

  1. 01Prepare rows and beds with clear structure for trees, support species and observation.
  2. 02Cover, feed soil life and work with volunteers — then watch how the system responds through winter and spring.

Productive landscapes can also become more diverse, resilient and alive. The North deserves its own regenerative models — and we are here to discover them in practice.
