This book offers a vision of a sustainable future and the practical steps we can take towards it. Written by one of world’s foremost teachers and practitioners of temperate permaculture, it explains in depth how to apply permaculture to any situation, from the smallest of buildings and apartments, to houses, gardens, orchards, farms and woodlands.
Revised and updated 2nd edition. The chapters on Energy and the Climate (specifically about climate change) are rewritten significant changes in the To Dig or Not To Dig? section of the Soil chapter. In addition there are small changes and updates throughout the book.
“Just occasionally a book is published that fully justifies its title and can even change the reader’s perspective on life. This is one of those rare and inspiring landmark events. A visionary, yet practical book.”

- Having this book by my side feels like having a favourite mentor standing right behind me Review by Burra Maluca, reviewing for permies.com

Just occasionally, I pick up a book and then kick myself for not having bought it sooner. I’m going to be carrying the scar for a few years to come having realised what I’ve been missing out on with this gem. Having this book by my side feels like having a favourite mentor standing right behind me ready to whisper words of wisdom in my ear the moment I need them.
