THE VEGETABLE GARDENER'S GUIDE TO PERMACULTURE

by Christopher Shein

 

This is very much a how-to approach to permaculture practices and principles.  It is a great companion to GAIA'S GARDEN with specific and concise information about methods, plants, processes. Shein reinforces all that we learned in GAIA'S GARDEN.  It is an engaging and attractive book filled with drawings, diagrams, designs, photos, and plant profiles.  He shares the experiences drawn from his own garden for us to learn.  He also encourages us to connect with community outside our immediate garden for sharing food, knowledge and goodwill.  Many resources are outlined for our use.  It makes gardening with permaculture methods tangible.
