Edible forest & fruit hedge
Create a forest garden or a fruit hedge in temperate, Mediterranean, and mountainous climates
The forest garden is at the heart of current permaculture designs. Regardless of its name - forest garden, edible forest, nourishing forest, permaculture orchard, or fruit hedge - the idea is to draw inspiration from forest ecosystems, or more precisely from forest edges, to create a multi-layered and nourishing garden. By thus valorizing space in its three dimensions, this principle allows for increased productivity per surface area and the creation of a naturally intensive garden.
Antoine Talin, a landscape architect specialized in permaculture, provides in this book all the keys to designing them, regardless of the cold or drought conditions that may prevail in our regions.
The solutions he proposes make it possible to create agroforestry gardens adapted to climate change and to limit its effects.
