Why read it?
2 authors picked Gaia's Garden as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I am so completely dependent upon the simple ingenuity of this book in providing practical advice for symbiotic ecological design integration that I frequently refer to it for my own planning.
Progressing through soil fertility, water conservation, rewilding for beneficial insects and wildlife, and concluding with designing edible food forests, he doesn’t miss a step in efficient biodiversity.
From Louis' list on sustainable permaculture design.
I really liked this book because of its permaculture aspects and design for gardeners. It was one of the first widely read books related to permaculture. It originally came out in 1984, when we were first dreaming about having our own farm.
There’s an updated version that should appeal to those interested in permaculture. This book inspired generations including us, and I highly recommend it for gardeners who want a biodiverse productive garden.
From Nancy's list on enhance biodiversity of beneficial organisms.
