Review: Good book to read casually. For more detailed information about how to create a forest garden, other reviewers have mentioned more suitable books. But for a pleasurable and interesting read, this book was great

Review: I quite enjoyed reading this book. Eric Toensmeier has written about permaculture and forest gardening elsewhere, and this book continues in the same vein. However, this one isn't really a reference book so much as an autobiography with gardening mixed into it. I enjoyed reading it, but if you want more of a reference manual then any of the following is a better place to start: 1. Eric's own two volume work 'Edible Forest Gardens' 2. Martin Crawford's 'Creating a Forest Garden' 3. Patrick Whitefield's 'How to Make a Forest Garden'
