Pippa Chapman has been gardening for over 30 years. In 2007 she left her job as Head Gardener on a private estate, to take a year-long practical apprenticeship at RHS Harlow Carr. She was introduced to forest gardening and permaculture and in 2010 set up a sustainable gardening business with her husband. She grows a wide variety of fruits, flowers, herbs and annual and perennial vegetables in her small backyard, creating a beautiful, edible and wildlife friendly space.
"This beautifully illustrated book is full of practical wisdom, but
is never prescriptive, and there is plenty of emphasis on how the
principles of forest garden design can be tweaked and adapted to
suit your own needs and circumstances."—Graham Burnett,
permaculture teacher and author of The Vegan Book of
Permaculture
"If you dream of planting a forest garden but lack the space and
know-how, this is the book for you. Pippa uses her vast practical
knowledge of forest gardening and permaculture to show you how to
create a garden that is both productive and beautiful. From
planning to harvest, Pippa explains how to pack in the produce
while also working with nature to produce a low maintenance haven
for you, your family, and the wildlife that will become part of
it."—Steve Ott, editor of Kitchen Garden magazine
"An inspiring and informative guide perfect for the aspiring food
forest gardener. Pippa's expert advice speaks to both those who are
just starting their permaculture journey as well as more
experienced growers. She also shows that you don't need a large
garden to create a beautiful and productive edible
landscape."—Tanya Anderson, author of A Women's Garden
"A beautifully clear guide to using the principles of forest
gardening on a garden scale that perfectly balances the practical
and inspirational with Pippa's personal experience."—Mark Diacono,
food writer, grower, photographer and cook
