Forest gardening is a novel way of growing edible crops — nature does most of the work for you ! A forest garden imitates young natural woodland, with a wide range of crops grown in different vertical layers, with little need for digging, weeding, or pest control. Species are chosen for their beneficial effects on each other, forming a healthy system that maintains its own fertility, and also creating a beautiful space.
Creating a Forest Garden tells you everything you need to know, whether you want to plant a small area in your back garden or develop a larger plot. It includes advice on planning, design (using permaculture principles), planting and maintenance, and a detailed directory of over 500 trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, annuals, root crops and climbers—almost all of them edible and many very unusual.
