Permaculture
We know a thing or two about permaculture books. After all, we're a sister website to one of the biggest permaculture book publishers, Permanent Publications, and specialise in bringing permaculture information to the widest possible audience.
In this section, you'll find key permaculture books, including the canonical Earth Care Manual, the bestselling startup guide Permaculture in a Nutshell, the comprehensive new Sepp Holzer's Permaculture, not to mention that old stalwart of the permaculturist's bookshelf, Plants for a Future!
We've also got a number of books dedicated to that most important of permaculture topics, the forest garden. Obviously, we need hardly mention our own How to Make a Forest Garden, but you should also check out Martin Crawford's beautifully illustrated Creating a Forest Garden, and Edible Forest Gardens volumes One and Two.
Be sure to check out our permaculture eBooks section as well if you're after digital versions of some of these...
