How Permaculture Can Save Humanity and the Earth, but Not Civilization

By Toby Hemenway
Author of Gaia’s Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture (2d Ed.)

The revised and updated edition also features a new chapter on urban permaculture, designed especially for people in cities and suburbs who have very limited growing space. Whatever size yard or garden you have to work with, you can apply basic permaculture principles to make it more diverse, more natural, more productive, and more beautiful. Best of all, once it’s established, an ecological garden will reduce or eliminate most of the backbreaking work that’s needed to maintain the typical lawn and garden.
