‘Build resilience and create a low maintenance edible haven with this accessible guide.’ Kim Stoddart 

Learn how to create an edible forest garden from canopy to groundcover, modelled after nature – perfect for gardeners and growers at any scale!

In The Home-Scale Forest Garden, gardener Dani Baker provides a practical, in-depth guide to creating a beautiful, bountiful edible landscape at any scale – from creating a foundation planting to developing an edible hedge to planning an acre or more.

Discover how to create a resilient forest garden ecosystem, including:

  • Observing and mapping your space
  • Grouping fruit trees, berry bushes, and perennial vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers in diverse layers that attract and shelter beneficial insects and birds
  • Creating microclimates to increase the range of plants you can grow
  • Expending less energy for greater reward

Along with over 200 photographs taken over 10 years of forest garden development, you’ll find illustrated designs of plant groupings for a range of conditions, including hot, dry sites and shady, moist sites. This book is the perfect guide for gardeners of all experience levels who want to embark on their own forest garden adventure.

Dani Baker and her partner, David Belding, farm at Cross Island Farms on Wellesley Island in the St. Lawrence River between New York and Canada, where they raise certified organic produce and grass-fed beef and goats. Dani is a retired clinical psychologist and a self-taught gardener who learned her craft by immersing herself in reading, poring over nursery catalogs, attending workshops on permaculture and gardening, and enthusiastic trial-and-error experimentation. Dani now conducts workshops and tours at her edible forest garden as well as giving presentations at organic farming conferences and other venues. She takes particular pleasure in inspiring others to try their hand at incorporating permaculture principles in their gardens.
