Summary
Permaculture made easy! Discover how you can create a sustainable garden in just nine simple steps.
Gardening remains one of the most prominent trends in the world right now, existing in many forms, shapes, and even sizes–ranging from something as simple as a lawn to purpose-built kitchen gardens, orchards, and more.
However, in all these versions, there is one element that hardly gets addressed: sustainability.
Conventional gardening practices–for something as simple as planting herbs or growing vegetables–might be green, but are not truly eco-friendly.
And this is where permaculture comes into play.
Developed in the 1970s, permaculture is what you’d call a holistic practice, aimed at not only providing food security to individuals and communities, but also restoring nature as a whole.
Permaculture is all about imitating nature to develop a sustainable ecosystem that gives back to nature more than it takes away, all without using any damaging gardening or farming practices.
In this beginner-friendly permaculture handbook, you will discover:
- A hands-on approach to start permaculture gardening in just nine steps–find out how to make sustainability a key part of your lifestyle.
- The 12 core design principles of permaculture philosophy, demystified.
- How to survey your backyard and smartly plan your garden.
- Imitating nature for success–maximize your yield and gardening efficiency by using the seven layer concept of permaculture design to plant trees, shrubs, herbs, and more
- How to take care of your garden using simple management techniques, zero-waste practices, and natural pest management.
And much more!
Are you ready to make nature your permanent gardening partner? Create a biodiverse ecosystem that supports your needs while restoring nature the permaculture way by listening to this audiobook!

"Benefits from premaculture guardening."
Although Hevean is only God's creation, this does not preclude a human from creating a small heaven for his own comfort and peace.
Planning the permacultural paradise is brimming with benefits. Giving you a scrumptious reward is capable. You simply have to contribute a modest quantity of cash to make this fantasy conceivable, which really motivate me for following this book. The writer helps me with this book to understand benefits of premaculture guardening.
The narrator also made good efforts to make me engage with the title.

Have been interested in permaculture design/gardening for a while, and wasn't really sure where to get started. This audiobook comprehensively covers nearly every consideration one needs to make in not only preparing, but caring for their garden. The author does a great job of weaving the philosophic ideal of permaculture gardening, with practical, and easy to follow actions to make the vision become real.
Found he narrator to be easy to listen to yet engaging, and the book was laid out so that each section and chapter flowed well into the next. Solid resource.
