Discover Annie Lagueyrie's great tips for your vegetable garden and permaculture garden.
Annie Lagueyrie, a journalist specializing in gardening, studied biology and ecology and is currently vice-president of the Association of Garden and Horticulture Journalists (AJJH). She discovered permaculture in 2013 and decided to take a course at the Bec-Helloin farm in Normandy. "Enthusiastic about this approach to gardening and, more broadly, about the relationship between people and nature," she wants to share the principles of ecology applied to gardening.

She is the author of Permaculture, the guide for beginners published by Rustica.

In this book, they present both the concept of permaculture and the basic principles for designing and maintaining a garden in harmony with the cycle of nature.

Living and cultivating one's garden in harmony with nature

Sepp and Margit Brunner make a living from the produce of their farm, which they have cultivated using permaculture methods for years. In the Austrian Alps where they were born, their farm has become a place for agricultural experimentation and personal growth. They organize seminars there to share their knowledge.

In this book, they present both the concept of permaculture and the basic principles for designing and maintaining a garden in harmony with the cycles of nature. Whether it's organizing space, combining species, promoting the water cycle, retaining heat, or caring for plants, they guide us step by step from theory to practice.

With them, let's transform our gardens and balconies into oases that will supply us with fresh and healthy produce, gladden our hearts with an abundance of colors and scents, and shelter our friends from the animal and plant world.

Permaculture is a systemic approach that allows us to create viable ecosystems by drawing inspiration from the laws of nature.

Climate change, economic crisis, rampant urbanization... A growing number of people are realizing that a change in behavior is inevitable, both individually and collectively. But how can we align our lifestyles with the resources available on the planet? How can we prepare to live without fossil fuels? Human permaculture offers some keys to navigating this delicate period of transition.

Permaculture is a systemic approach that creates viable ecosystems by drawing inspiration from the laws of nature. While primarily considered in its agricultural application for the past forty years, it is examined here in its broadest sense: today, pioneers of change aspire to transform their lives in all their dimensions. Human permaculture therefore encompasses not only agriculture, but also culture, including the economy, housing, and relationships between individuals.

This richly illustrated manual by Marie Quilvin is brimming with information and inspiring examples to reconnect us with nature and adopt a more ethical, less predatory lifestyle. It offers tools and engaging exercises to stimulate our creativity, discover our personal niche, build cohesive work teams, establish permaculture designs, and (re)discover our vital links with water, soil, and forests. A chapter dedicated to food also teaches us how to nourish ourselves with algae and insects—a vast source of nutrition for the future.

Unique in the French-speaking world, Human Permaculture is designed to guide us step by step through this transition and help us put our talents to work for our environment. It's high time we anticipated change rather than simply reacting to it!

Eight natural principles for effortless gardening

If you still need to buy compost, fertilizers, pesticides, topsoil or any other product to grow your plants, this little guide will interest you!

In nature, plants germinate, grow, flower, and produce fruit or wood to serve us, without us having to add anything to them. Why shouldn't it be the same in our flowerbeds?

The principles you will discover in this short guide prove to be the answer, even the truth, because they work. Failing to comply with them inevitably leads to consequences, consequences that cost us dearly in time, money, dissatisfaction, and environmental impact through product consumption and the resulting waste.

Are you ready to see the plant world with a different, but advantageously beneficial, perception?

Effortless gardening, yes, it's possible; if you let nature do the work for you! And rejoice, it does it for free for those who don't abuse it!
