The Garden of Equal Delights: The Practice and Principles of Forest Gardening - Anni Kelsey

Descriere The Garden of Equal Delights: The Practice and Principles of Forest Gardening - Anni Kelsey

\nForest gardens are much in the news as a form of sustainable, small-scale agriculture that can help us in the face of the climate and environmental crisis. A forest garden is edible, fertile, abundant, and beautiful because it functions as an ecosystem. The forest gardener is an integral part of this ecosystem. But what do forest gardeners do? Where and how can you start? What do you do when the weeds and slugs come? Anni Kelsey answers these questions here from experience. The 'garden of equal delights, ' after which this book is named, is her forest garden high on a wet and windy Welsh hillside. Rejecting control and a regimen of planned interventions in favour of a more intimate, knowing, and connected relationship with her garden, Anni describes how she learned to garden as an intrinsic--and equal--part of the ecosystem. She also sets out a set of very practical principles that other forest gardeners can follow in their own preferred way. This is an inspiring story for experienced, new, and would-be forest gardeners and for anyone longing to engage with nature more deeply.
