The Home-Scale Forest Garden by Dani Baker

In The Home-Scale Forest Garden, Baker shares what she learned as she became a forest gardener, providing a practical, in-depth guide to creating a beautiful, bountiful edible landscape at any scale—from a few dozen square feet to an acre or more.

Baker provides information on planning, planting, and maintaining a resilient forest garden ecosystem, including:

  •   Using permaculture principles
  •   Observing and mapping your space
  •   Building planting beds, including hügelkultur mounds
  •   Coping with saturated soil
  •   Matching perennial edible plants to the right growing conditions
  •   Grouping plants in diverse layers that attract and shelter beneficial insects and birds
  •   Creating microclimates to increase the range of plants you can grow
  •   Pruning, propagating, managing pests, and more
  •   Expending less energy for greater reward

The Home-Scale Forest Garden is complete with descriptions of over 100 food-bearing and multifunctional plants for every layer of a forest garden: overstory and understory trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, groundcovers, vines, and mushrooms, too.
