The Regenerative Garden

Offert en anglais seulement

Discover how to work with nature by using permaculture techniques to create a garden that isn’t just more beautiful and productive, but also more resilient. While the word permaculture might sound intimidating, the principles behind it are not. The main goal of this globally trending movement is to turn your space into a functioning ecosystem that’s less reliant on external resources and better able to sustain itself through many seasons of growth and change as it resists pests, diseases and climate extremes.

No matter how much room you have, from a tiny patio to a big backyard, or whether you grow food, flowers, shrubs or trees, this book will help you become a more eco-conscious gardener.

Through 80 DIY projects, author Stephanie Rose of the popular website Garden Therapy introduces various permaculture techniques, including intensive planting to reduce weeding and watering, growing living mulches to amend the soil, building self-watering planters and wicking beds to reduce water use, installing a rain garden to catch runoff, cultivating a wildlife hedge to support animals and create a windbreak and noise buffer, composting to reduce waste on-site, and making a butterfly migration station to attract pollinators.

As you complete the projects, you’ll find that you’ve reduced your long-term workload, conserved water and other resources, turned your yard into a thriving habitat, and learned to grow a garden that regenerates itself year after year.
