Gaia's Garden introduces readers to the concept of ecological gardening and the permaculture approach, which emphasizes working with nature to create beautiful, abundant, and forgiving gardens. This revised and expanded second edition includes tips for urban and suburban growers and emphasizes that even small yards can be turned into thriving ecosystems that provide habitat for beneficial insects and animals, retain water, and yield seasonal fruits and other foods. With basic permaculture principles, readers can reduce maintenance work on their lawn and garden while creating a more diverse, natural, and productive outdoor space.
