The conscious design of largely self maintaining, self
renewing, self fertilizing gardens that mimic forest ecosystems is a
practical possibility NOW. They can yield abundant harvests
of Food, Fuel, Fiber, Fodder, Fertilizer, 'Farmaceuticals'
and, of course, FUN. This accessible and engaging guide to
edible forest gardening will be the first ever published
expressly for North American gardeners, plants, and
climates.
Our goal is that you, the readers, are inspired and
empowered to go out there and start your own forest
gardens.
Edible Forest Gardens will be comprehensive, rigorous,
and grounded in ecological and practical realities while
being fun and accessible.
We are very excited to be moving forward on this project,
and
feel sure that edible forest gardening is an idea whose time
has come. Ordering your copy of this important book now not
only saves you money, it helps support us as authors
while we finish the work. With your help, we hope to have

book out in time for the Spring, 2000 tree planting
season!
