"This compelling book brings a new perspective to how we might look at our gardens. It focuses on the life of just one garden, dreamt up and designed by author Jenny Allen. In her quest to make a garden of pure pleasure, she followed the practices of permaculture, an organic method of gardening based on using nature's solutions to achieve abundance. This practice releases the gardener from much of the drudgery of repetitive tasks, leaving more time for relaxing and basking in the garden's fruitfulness and beauty. Using obsevation, planning and design as the cornerstones, she takes the reader into her garden and, with her light and quirky style and wit, she gently leads us into the principles of permaculture. Her hand-drawn plans and designs guide us and the sumptuous photographs bear witness to the unfolding dream. The smart lateral thinking that underscores permaculture can be used by anyone and for any garden. 'Smart permaculture design' show show a garden can be so much more than just a collection of plants. It can feed, entertain, delight, amuse, soothe, and fascinate you. This practical and immensly thoughtful reference is also an inspirational armchair read; it will uplift you and carry you away." - back cover.
