3.0 out of 5 stars Gaia's Garden, 19 May 2009
By Jenny81 (England) - See all my reviews
As a new comer to permaculture this is the third book I have read, after introdutury guides. I was hoping for it to give me some practical advice.

I found the book very informative and gave me more information on the whys and the how. My main problem is this is an American book and only some of the advice and planting suggestion are suitable for a British Climate. There was lots on mentions of deer as a pest which personally is not a problem in my suburban garden.

If I could give half points I would probably give it 3.5 as it is a good read with some detailed explaination and ideas, it's just that I need to move to America to use them

4.0 out of 5 stars Learn about Permaculture, 5 Jan 2008
By P. Bessa - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is a good book on Permaculture.
Good Introuction, good data and text about relationships between species, forest gardening, perenials, practical examples.
Not a permaculture bible but worth to both beginners and to somewhat-experimented people in permaculture.
This is my first book in Permaculture and we're pretty satisfied with it.I would give it not a full five stars, but also not four stars, but a 4.5 or 4.75 stars if I could!

Go experimenting with your permaculture ideas right there, today!
Buy also the "21st century homesteading", five-star book for urban (and rural) dwellers

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, 27 Oct 2001
By A Customer
As a complete newcomer to Permaculture, I found the concepts and explanations very clearly laid-out and understandable for someone like me with almost no experience in PC. I also found it very encouraging. Whether this reflects the reality or not, I shall have to find out...
