Reviews for The Complete Guide to Home Permaculture: How to Transform Your Yard into a Thriving and Productive Ecosystem

""Brandy Hall's approach to home permaculture is exactly what we need right now--clear-eyed, deeply grounded, and full of hope. This book shows how tending the soil we stand on can become a radical act of repair and reconnection."" --Kirsten Bradley, Milkwood.net ""In The Complete Guide to Home Permaculture, Brandy Hall warmly and graciously offers readers an accessible doorway into not only the practices and step-by-step processes of home permaculture, but into a deeper, more interconnected relationship with the natural rhythms and cycles of our own backyards. At a time when it's easy to feel powerless in the face of on-going ecological crisis, this book feels like a balm, empowering readers with simple tools and easy-to-apply knowledge we can use to transform our urban and suburban landscapes into blooming, blossoming, thriving pockets of life."" --Beth Ward, award-winning culture writer, journalist, and editor ""Permaculture is often an appealing concept, yet folks learning about it for the first time can feel quickly overwhelmed by all the concepts. The Complete Guide to Home Permaculture does a remarkable job of focusing on the most essential elements relevant to a homeowner, providing clear and digestible information, along with a range of examples and step-by-step instructions that help anyone grasp the ideas and move towards actionable solutions in the backyard. The ample drawings and striking photographs make the reading experience enjoyable, and leave one eager to bring the same beauty, balance, and tranquility to their home."" --Steve Gabriel, farmer and author of Farming the Woods and Silvopasture ""Since working with Brandy years ago, I can't help but imagine lush, biodiverse landscapes humming with life in place of every grass lawn I see. This book offers readers encouragement and actionable steps to help regenerate our world's natural, wilder, and healthier terrain within the framework of modern infrastructures. With these pages as our guide, mutual nourishment and flourishing for people, plants and animals is at our fingertips."" --Whitney Leigh Morris, small space living expert and author of Small Space Style ""We've successfully applied the invaluable insights and principles learned from Brandy to both our personal lives and our business operations. She possesses a remarkable ability to demystify a subject that often feels daunting and overwhelming, breaking it down into manageable, actionable pieces that can be easily integrated into real life. This approach fosters a simple yet profoundly impactful shift in perspective, allowing us to view landscaping and land management in an entirely fresh and innovative way. Brandy's philosophy champions the intelligent utilization of existing resources and a collaborative partnership with the natural landscape, rather than working in opposition to it. This harmonious approach not only optimizes outcomes but also promotes sustainability and a deeper connection to our surroundings."" --Keriann & Jeroen Koeman, Wicked Tulips Flower Farm ""Where the world takes a black-and-white view of stormwater, garden pests, and native vs. invasive plants, this book sees shades of green. It's inspiring, empowering, and practical."" --Elizabeth Florio, digital editor of Garden & Gun magazine
