“Two deeply experienced permaculture designers have encapsulated years of practice in this very hands-on guide. This valuable book will save time, trouble, and effort.” Toby Hemenway, author of Gaia’s Gardens

The concept behind permaculture is simple: take care if the earth and the earth will take care of you. In clear, logical steps Practical Permaculture offers the tools and advice you need to live a life rich in healthy food and renewable resources. Jessi Bloom and Dave Boehnlein, two dynamic leaders in the garden community, explain the basics of permaculture, sharing detailed information on the plants, water, waste, energy, shelter, food, animals, and structures that make up a permaculture landscape. Featuring the fifty most useful plants for permaculture landscapes and filled with real-life examples from all over the world, this invaluable resource will help you turn your property into a sustainable ecosystem.
