‘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.
