Bestselling author of The Urban Farmer

Growing your own fruit, veggies and herbs can be time-consuming if you use a traditional approach of planting annuals every year. But there is another way. By harnessing the power of perennials, trees and shrubs, you can establish a thriving ecosystem that requires minimal upkeep - perfect for busy people.

Justin Calverley, author of the bestselling The Urban Farmer, reveals the secrets of our woodlands and how their low-maintenance model can revolutionise our outdoor spaces. Known as 'food forests', these self-sustaining backyard ecosystems focus on long-living perennial plantings. A food forest garden, once established, will continue to give back year after year, reducing maintenance and increasing biodiversity.

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, you'll learn the practical steps to creating a garden that will provide lasting benefits for you, your family and the environment.
