Creating a "forest-garden," or "edible forest," involves planting a wide range of edible plants at different heights, inspired by forest systems. Thanks to their mutual interactions , the chosen species require little tillage, weeding or pest control, and result in a productive and healthy system. This book gives all the keys to creating a forest-garden adapted to our climate , whatever the size of the project: design, planting and maintenance advice; but also a directory of more than 500 trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, vegetables and climbers, all edible or useful, all cultivable and available here, and many of them little known.
