What The One Guild Templates help you do

  • Start your food forest with a clear, manageable first step

  • Avoid second-guessing plant combinations and spacing

  • Build confidence by planting one well-structured guild

  • Adapt your choices to your climate from day one

  • Move forward at your own pace, without overwhelm

  • Use a structure you can repeat as your food forest grows

How it works

Step 1

Choose your climate and tree

Select the climate that best matches your location, and choose from a selection of commonly grown fruit and nut trees.

Step 2

Pick a ready-made guild template

Choose one of the available pre-filled guild layouts. Each layout includes a complete plant selection and defined spacing specific to that structure.

Step 3

Follow the simple instructions

Download the template and follow simple step-by-step instructions. You’re guided through plant choices, spacing, and how to complete your guild.

After these steps, you’ll have a finished food forest guild layout including plant choices, spacing, and structure, ready to use as the foundation for your first (or next) guild.

What you get

  • Ready-made food forest guild templates: Each template gives you a complete, structured guild layout built around a specific tree, so you’re not designing from scratch or guessing which plants belong together.

  • Clear plant choices and spacing: Every guild includes defined plant roles and spacing, so you know what goes where and how much room each plant needs as the system matures.

  • Open and dense layout options: Choose between lighter, simpler guilds or more diverse, plant-rich layouts depending on your space, energy, and preferences.

  • Templates adapted to your climate: Guilds are organized by temperate, Mediterranean, and subtropical climates, so you’re only working with trees and plants that make sense where you live.

  • A wide choice of productive trees to start from: Start with canopy or sub-canopy trees you actually want to grow and harvest from.

  • Guidance to adjust or build your own guild: If you want to swap plants or design your own layout, the included instructions and plant libraries give you a clear framework to do so without losing structure.

  • Step-by-step instructions for each template: Every template comes with a clear, printable instruction guide that walks you through completing the guild layout in a logical order.

  • Downloadable plant libraries by layer: Access curated plant lists organized by canopy, sub-canopy, shrubs, herbs, groundcovers, roots, and vines to fill in the lower layers with confidence.

  • A repeatable structure you can reuse: Once you’ve completed one guild, you can reuse the same process again and again to expand your food forest gradually, without overwhelm.

Is this right for you?

This is for you if you want to…

  • Start your food forest without designing the entire property upfront

  • Know what to plant first, without weeks or months of research

  • Learn by planting and observing, not by memorizing theory

  • Build your food forest gradually, one clear, well-structured guild at a time

  • Use proven layouts while still being able to adapt them as you gain confidence

  • Work within real-life limits like limited time, energy, or seasonal presence

This may not be for you if…

  • You’re looking for a complete, site-specific masterplan for your entire property

  • You want detailed planting, maintenance, or care instructions for every situation

  • You’re primarily interested in theory, design philosophy, or academic permaculture study

  • You want a fully automated solution that removes all decision-making

  • You’re hoping for instant results without any hands-on involvement

Hi, I'm Moreno.

I built these templates after running into the same problem over and over again.

Even when the goal was simple, to plant one good fruit tree with the right support plants, the design process kept getting bigger, slower, and more complicated than it needed to be.

Choosing species, thinking about spacing, second-guessing combinations… it all took so much time that actually getting plants in the ground kept getting delayed.

Over time, I stopped designing food forests from scratch and began using a small set of repeatable layouts that worked well and were easy to adapt.

I refined these layouts across different climates, from temperate to Mediterranean and subtropical, both on my own sites and while helping others design their food forests.

These templates are a cleaned-up version of that approach, designed to help you create one clear, well-structured guild so you can move forward without overthinking everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this tell me exactly what to plant and where?

Yes. For each guild template, you’re given a clear layout with the main trees and shrubs already selected, along with spacing and placement guidance.

The lower layers (herbaceous, groundcover, roots, vines) are intentionally left flexible, with simple options and plant libraries provided so you can adapt them to your preferences without starting from scratch.

Is this suitable for my climate?

The templates are organized by climate.

You’ll choose between temperate, Mediterranean, or subtropical, and only see trees, guild layouts, and plant options that make sense for that climate.

As new trees and templates are added, they’ll appear inside the relevant climate section.

How long does it take to create a guild using the templates?

Most people can choose a tree, select a template, and understand the full layout in under an hour.

Planting can then happen at your own pace. The goal is to remove decision fatigue, not rush you.

Do I need prior experience with food forests or permaculture?

No. This tool is designed for people who want structure and clarity without needing to study theory or memorize plant roles.

Everything is laid out step by step, so you can learn by doing.

Is this a full course?

No. This is a practical design tool, not a comprehensive food forest course.

It focuses specifically on helping you design one clear, well-structured guild.

It does not cover site analysis, planting techniques, long-term maintenance, or whole-property planning.

Can I adapt the templates or reuse them later?

Yes. You can adjust plant choices, swap species, and reuse the templates to design multiple guilds over time.

The structure stays the same, which makes each new guild easier to design than the last.
