Description
Creating a Forest Garden is a comprehensive guide to growing edible crops while allowing nature to do most of the work. By choosing species that benefit each other, you can create a healthy system that maintains its own fertility with minimal maintenance.
This approach to gardening, known as forest gardening or agroforestry, results in a tranquil, beautiful, and productive space where you can cultivate a variety of fruits, nuts, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, and even forage firewood and honey.
With over 500 trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, annuals, root crops, and climbers to choose from, you'll find the perfect plants for your forest garden. From familiar options like fig and apple trees to lesser-known varieties like chokeberries and goji berries, this guide has everything you need to create a thriving ecosystem.
