Review:
Integrated Forest Gardening makes the process of creating complex agroecosystems more understandable and achievable. It is a fine guide to designing forest garden and polycultural systems using Permaculture principles. -- --Martin Crawford, author of Creating a Forest Garden
This is an intimate insight into the world of plant guilds. The authors have taken the broad land based overview and zoom the reader into the micro detail of these plant polycultures. Details of root structure, seeding patterns, and relationships with the surrounding environment have been carefully observed and are well laid out in the plant guild lists. This book is an important contribution to every permaculture designer s library and will appeal to all those wishing to grow sustainable polycultures whether broadscale or in the garden. --Ben Law, author The Woodland Way and Roundwood Timber Framing
