We're a nursery school, first and foremost
It's the heart of Semisto: the place from which everything else radiates. We grow plants suited to tomorrow's climate, and the nursery growers able to propagate them. A living, anti-fragile asset.
A more robust agriculture
In Belgium, nurseries oriented toward agroecological, food-growing systems are disappearing or struggling to survive. Most cultivated plants come from large chains, disconnected from local realities.

We grow ideas too
Able to actively contribute to the robustness of our ecosystems.
Where citizens, professionals and researchers connect and innovate together.
In our agricultural and landscaping practices, inspired by natural systems.
Assisted migration
We propagate two families of plants in parallel: old local varieties we don't want to lose, and species that aren't really established here yet but will be, in the climate that today's plantings will grow into — fig, medlar, jujube, hackberry, persimmon, strawberry tree…
A tree planted in 2026 produces in the climate of 2040-2050. We choose it for that climate.
