Publisher Description: A forest garden is a place where nature and people meet halfway--between the canopy of trees and the soil underfoot. It doesn't have to look like a forest: what's important is that natural processes are allowed to unfold, to the benefit of plants, people and other creatures. The result is an edible ecosystem. For three decades experimental forest gardens have been planted in temperate cities and rural sites, in households, neighborhoods, community gardens, parks, market gardens and plant nurseries.
