Home-Scale Forest Garden

We chat with author and market gardener Dani Baker about forest gardening.

Baker has created a forest garden on her USDA Zone 4 farm. She shares her tips for making a forest garden, whether it’s an acre or just a few square feet.

We talk about:

• Permaculture principles
• Creating microclimates
• Grouping plants in layers
• Understanding your space
• Matching plants to conditions
• What you can do at this time of year to get started

Her new book is The Home-Scale Forest Garden: How to Plan, Plant, and Tend a Resilient Edible Landscape.
