homesteaders, and a growing number of home gardeners. It is a
systematic and holistic approach to living that includes everything

and leads to a life rich in healthy food, comfortable and safe
housing, and renewable energy and resources.

the Whole Earth provides home gardeners with the skills they need
to start their first permaculture garden or to further their
current involvement in the practice. Jessi Bloom, the bestselling
author of Free-Range Chicken Gardens and an ecological landscape
designer, and permaculture expert Dave Boehnlein explain the basic
principles and ethics of permaculture, show the entire design
process from land assessment to the completed master plan, and
offer detailed information on the plants, water, waste, energy,
shelter, food, animals, and structures that make up the garden.
Illustrations and color photographs provide instruction,
inspiration, and glimpses into working permaculture gardens
throughout the world. This comprehensive and accessible guide is
