“ This book will fundamentally change the conversation about growing food
indoors.”


J oin author Jerome Osentowski as he shares his newly published book "The
Forest Garden Greenhouse-How to Design and Manage an Indoor Permaculture
Oasis ", in an evening talk on Sunday, March 6, describing how to bring a
forest garden indoors.

For roughly 200 years, greenhouses have been a mainstay of the market garden
and nursery trades. But the possibilities of these indoor gardens to
transform our homes and our lives remain largely unrealized. In this
groundbreaking book, Jerome Osentowski, one of North America’s most
accomplished permaculture designers, shows how to bring a forest garden
indoors, even on unlikely terrain and in cold climates, using near-net-zero
technology.

The Forest Garden Greenhouse advocates a unique approach to indoor
agriculture using permaculture design concepts that take season extension
into new and important territory, whether you’re growing food or medicinals
for your family or commercially.

Osentowski, director and founder of Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture
Institute (CRMPI), farms at 7200 feet on a steep, rocky hillside in Colorado.
At this mountaintop site, Osentowski (along with architect and design partner
Michael Thompson) has been designing and building revolutionary greenhouses
that utilize passive and active solar heat storage technologies via what they
call the “climate battery.” This cutting-edge, subterranean air-circulation
system pushes hot, moist, ambient air from the greenhouse during the day
through a network of buried perforated tubes, storing heat and humidity in
the soil, to be retrieved again during cold nights. This remarkable
technology creates tropical and Mediterranean climates at high altitudes and
in cold climates (and everywhere else).

In addition to learning how to create their own climate battery, readers will
receive in-depth information about: the fundamentals of design and
construction of greenhouses of various sizes; capturing energy and
ventilation; bed layout and soil building techniques; the secrets of
successful companion planting; the use of microclimates within and around the
greenhouse, and more.

Whether your goal is simply to extend the growing season by a few weeks or to
build a year-round tropical greenhouse, this book’s detailed drawings,
photos, and profiles of successful greenhouse projects on all scales will be
an invaluable resource.

Jerome Osentowski is a forager and permaculturist with roots in rural
Nebraska. The director and founder of Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture
Institute and a permaculture designer for thirty years, he has built five
greenhouses for himself and scores of others for private clients and public
schools. He makes his living from an intensively-cultivated one acre of
indoor and outdoor forest garden and plant nursery, which he uses as a
backdrop for permaculture and greenhouse design courses. Among his
accomplishments is hosting the longest-running Permaculture Design Course in
the world. He currently lives in a passive solar home he built at 7200 feet
above Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley.
