Forest Gardening, or agroforestry, is a way of growing edible crops while allowing nature to do most of the work. Species are chosen for their beneficial effects on each other, creating a healthy system that maintains its own fertility, with little need for digging, weeding or pest control. The result of this largely perennial planting is a tranquil, beautiful and productive space, where you can cultivate your own fruits, nuts, vegetables, herbs, mushroom and even forage firewood and honey. Whether in a small back garden or in a larger plot, forest gardens really benefit the environment and are also a viable solution to the challenge of a changing climate. The soil thrives from being covered with plants all year round and is also able to store more water after heavy rains, minimising flooding and erosion and helping plants to survive through draught. Forest gardens also store carbon dioxide in the soil and in the woody biomass of the trees and shrubs. The mixed variety of plants further boosts the health of the ecosystem by ensuring a balance of predators and beneficial insects. Creating a Forest Garden is a bible for permaculture and forest gardening, with practical advice on how to create a forest garden, from planning and design to planting and maintenance. It includes a detailed directory of over 500 trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, annuals, root crops and climbers. As well as more familiar plants such as fig and apple trees, blackcurrants and rosemary shrubs, you can grow your own chokeberries, goji berries, yams, heartnuts, bamboo shoots and buffalo currants. Grow a forest garden with this handy guide and become more self-sufficient while also enjoying the natural beauty and environmental benefits of these wonderful green spaces. Review: Amazing amount of Info! - My wife and I are in the process of coverting our backyard into a food forest. We had picked up another book about the subject. And I was very disappointed on the lay of the book. Info was all over the place, it really did not have great structure on displaying the information. However, this book is great! The lay of the pages are very useful, full of pictures and graphs and my favorite the plant list that helps the reader choose the right plant for their forest situation. It also gives examples of small backyard to larger fields, which helps me now but also in the future. It is a very helpful book for pure beginners. A must read in the subject! Review: I can't put this book down - Many times have I bought a book on gardening, permaculture, or homesteading and skimmed through it and then left it to collect dust on the shelf. But THIS oh my, what a very well laid out, informative and intriguing book! I can't put it down! This is helping me tremendously in planning my food forest! Martin Crawford you ROCK!

Thank you! thank you! thank you!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book on this topic *by H***T on September 19, 2012* This is an amazing book about forest gardening in Northwestern Europe. It is beautifully illustrated, contains information on hundreds of plants and gives practical information about the process of designing, planting and maintaining a forest garden, background information and even information on the cooking and processing of the food from the garden. Without any doubt the best book on the topic. Although I don't have (yet) a real forest garden, I have used information from the book to transform part of my garden. I must admit I have read some chapters at least 5 times, which I do only with my favourite books. It contains so much useful information and the line drawings illustrate all the principles and results. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/6298070-creating-a-forest-garden-working-with-nature-to-grow-edible](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/6298070-creating-a-forest-garden-working-with-nature-to-grow-edible) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
