Pippa Chapman has been gardening for over 30 years. In 2007 she left her job as Head Gardener on a private estate, to take a year-long practical apprenticeship at RHS Harlow Carr. She was introduced to forest gardening and permaculture and in 2010 set up a sustainable gardening business with her husband. She grows a wide variety of fruits, flowers, herbs and annual and perennial vegetables in her small backyard, creating a beautiful, edible and wildlife friendly space.
A beautifully clear guide to using the principles of forest gardening on a garden scale that perfectly balances the practical and inspirational with Pippa's personal experience.--Mark Diacono, food writer, photographer and cook This beautifully illustrated book is full of practical wisdom, but is never prescriptive, and there is plenty of emphasis on how the principles of forest garden design can be tweaked and adapted to suit your own needs and circumstances.--Graham Burnett, permaculture teacher and author of The Vegan Book of Permaculture
