Reviews & Praise
“Anna's easy accessible style makes this introduction to permaculture gardening on a small scale a delight to read. Whether you want to make a small forest garden or just garden in a more ecological way, you'll find this a really useful book.”—Martin Crawford, Author, Founder of the Agroforestry Research Trust
“What a brilliant concept and book. It gives a rich tapestry of formats; beautiful photographs and illustrations, diagrams and invitations for the gardener to have a go. I really like the way the information is presented. This is very much how I like to garden, as a forager and community grower with a forest garden area, this approach will be particularly useful when sharing this practice with the community, in our community garden. Having this holistic gardening handbook will be very empowering for others to garden in this way too.”—Charlie Gray, Horton Community Farm
“The Forager’s Garden takes a whole new look at gardening, blending the wild with the cultivated to provide food, biodiversity and climate benefits.”—Craig Sams, Founder of Carbon Gold Biochar, Co-Founder of Green & Black's chocolate company, Former Chair of the Soil Association
