Summary

Permaculture made easy! Discover how you can create a sustainable garden in just nine simple steps.

Gardening remains one of the most prominent trends in the world right now, existing in many forms, shapes, and even sizes–ranging from something as simple as a lawn to purpose-built kitchen gardens, orchards, and more.

However, in all these versions, there is one element that hardly gets addressed: sustainability.

Conventional gardening practices–for something as simple as planting herbs or growing vegetables–might be green, but are not truly eco-friendly.

And this is where permaculture comes into play.

Developed in the 1970s, permaculture is what you’d call a holistic practice, aimed at not only providing food security to individuals and communities, but also restoring nature as a whole.

Permaculture is all about imitating nature to develop a sustainable ecosystem that gives back to nature more than it takes away, all without using any damaging gardening or farming practices.

In this beginner-friendly permaculture handbook, you will discover:

  • A hands-on approach to start permaculture gardening in just nine steps–find out how to make sustainability a key part of your lifestyle.
  • The 12 core design principles of permaculture philosophy, demystified.
  • How to survey your backyard and smartly plan your garden.
  • Imitating nature for success–maximize your yield and gardening efficiency by using the seven layer concept of permaculture design to plant trees, shrubs, herbs, and more
  • How to take care of your garden using simple management techniques, zero-waste practices, and natural pest management.

And much more!

Are you ready to make nature your permanent gardening partner? Create a biodiverse ecosystem that supports your needs while restoring nature the permaculture way by listening to this audiobook!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Me and My Green Fingers

As a member of a family with a rich tradition in horticulture and agriculture, I've always been drawn to gardening. Strolling through the Chelsea Gardens, I am most captivated by nature's wild, untamed beauty. So, when I came across this Permaculture Gardening Handbook, I knew it was a must-listen for me.

Listening to this audiobook, I was being guided by a wise mentor through the intricacies of sustainable gardening. Drawing from my family's green fingers, I resonated deeply with the author's advice to daydream in my garden – a practice that reinforces my indulgence.

The audiobook paints a vivid picture of what a sustainable garden could be, igniting my imagination and inspiring me to create my biodiverse ecosystem. I appreciated the emphasis on design principles and the thoughtful consideration of plant placement, which resonated with my vision for a harmonious garden.

One aspect that stood out to me was the audiobook's recognition of the versatility of gardening practices across different climates and regions. As someone who has experienced the joys of gardening in hot countries, I must acknowledge that root vegetables can thrive in open fields without shade.

Permaculture Gardening Handbook is not just a practical guide – it's an educational journey that empowers listeners to cultivate eco-friendly, sustainable, and biodiverse gardens. Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate gardener, this audiobook offers invaluable insights into designing and growing gardens that nourish the body and the environment.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this Permaculture Gardening Handbook to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of sustainable gardening practices. It's a comprehensive resource that equips listeners with the knowledge and tools to create thriving gardens honing permaculture principles.

Well Written!

I appreciated this book for its straightforward approach to introducing permaculture, a method of gardening that's both eco-friendly and sustainable. The idea of creating a garden that works with nature, instead of against it, was really intriguing. What stood out to me were the simple steps and practical advice it offered, making it feel achievable for someone new to gardening. Learning about how to plan and care for a garden with the environment in mind opened up a new perspective on what it means to grow your own food. It's cool to think about not just the benefits for ourselves but also how our gardens can support the planet.
