Many people attach importance to a sustainable and holistic way of life. These basic principles are also the basis of permaculture, a cultivation method in which one works in harmony with nature and maintains natural communities in the garden. The great thing about it is that nature even takes some of the work off your hands and the yields are great! This guidebook shows clearly how you can make use of the principles of permaculture in your own garden: Starting with the herb pot on the balcony, to the vegetable raised bed, to the complete permaculture garden. By means of several planning examples for different needs, you will also learn how to plan a sustainable garden step by step. In addition to the valuable practical tips for the seasons given by the experienced permaculture gardener Karin Schlieber, the book also contains useful conservation tips.
