Living off permaculture and fresh water

Forest gardens: an ocean of edible perennial plants.

Practice self-sufficiency at home, based primarily on perennial crops, by one of the leading teachers of permaculture. Reduce your cultivation efforts with plants that regrow each year or readily self-seed.

Insightful questions, effective and inexpensive solutions, exceptional plants… and mistakes too. This is the true story of how they transformed their 400 square meters of poor soil in a disadvantaged suburb into a lush and bountiful vegetable garden and forest garden, inspiring many around them… Follow their thought process, their trials (from the moment they bought the land), and the gradual growth of their forest garden from 2004 to 2019, step by step.

This book will also allow you to experience in everyday life what the permaculture approach can be like, thanks to a chronological life story, by the author and his roommate, soon joined by their respective partners.

A practical, surprising, fresh, motivating and truly inspiring book!
