The Forest Garden

Creating a "forest garden," or "edible forest," involves planting a wide variety of edible plants at different heights, inspired by forest systems.

Creating a "forest garden," or "edible forest," involves planting a wide variety of edible plants at different heights, drawing inspiration from forest ecosystems. Thanks to their mutual interactions, the chosen species require little soil work, weeding, or pest control, resulting in a productive and healthy system.

This book provides all the keys to creating a forest garden adapted to our climate, whatever the size of the project: design, planting and maintenance advice; a directory of more than 500 trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, vegetables and climbers, all edible or useful, all cultivable and available in our region, and many of which are little known.
