Introduction to Forest Gardening Designing Regenerative Perennial Agriculture Thanks to: Ethan Roland, Jonathan Bates, Kat Anderson, Dave Jacke
A Vision of Forest Gardening               here it is
The Roots of Forest Gardening
Tending the Wild Across North America Kat Anderson spent 17 years interviewing native elders from around California.   Their stories illustrate whole-ecosystem caretaking based on agroforestry and managing wild plant and animal populations for harvest.  Analagous patterns are found in the history (and sometimes present day) of every inhabited ecosystem in North America.
Soaproot – Chlorogalum spp. A “wild” plant physiologically  adapted to human harvesting  and use.
Pseudo-Domesticates in the Northeast?
Desired Conditions for FG’s Overyielding Polycultures Self-Renewing Fertility Sustainable Water Demand Minimal Herbivory Healthy Plants Directed Succession Minimal Competition

Or….just start planting!
A Radical Idea: STEP INTO ACTION “You Have FullAuthorityto Improve Creation!” – Geoff Lawton …no matter how small  your wheelbarrow!
Humans are Keystone Species There’s a learning curve in all phases of design. There’s an unlearning curve in how we relate to our habitat – cultural views of people and nature as separate. As permaculture designers, we are building relationship with our role as ecosystem managers.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. --Ubiquitous in tropical world, likely predating annual crop agriculture by many millennia.
  2. Pseudo-Domesticates
  3. Milkweed – TomWessels – germination of Old World vs. New World “weed” species – intervale prairies. There is more to these plants than meets the eye.
