Review
"Alan walks us through the theory and reality of creating a food forest, whatever the size of our plot. As the processes and delights of creating a home garden unfold, we are guided by useful observations and practical information. The directory of forest garden plants is an eye-opener and has me rethinking so many plants I've dismissed in the past. I wish I'd read this book before creating our first food forest!"—Liz Zorab of Byther Farm, author of Grounded, A Gardener’s Journey to Abundance and Self-Sufficiency and The Seasoned Gardener
"This is the book we in the North have been waiting for, as Alan Carter has a realistic understanding of the climate. He comes up with a remarkable range of edible plants that will 'do' and all the techniques needed to get them established, making a British forest garden seem wholly desirable and possible."—Fi Martynoga, writer, forager, gardener and editor of Scotland’s Wild Harvests

Review:
5.0 out of 5 stars He gets it!
My favorite quote from Alan's book: "I...discovered that there is a difference between 'edible' in the sense that 'you can eat this plant without dying' and edible in the sense that you would want to."
Great book

The best book yet on this subject.
I've read several books about forest gardening and related subjects, and this is the absolute best, in my opinion. It's full of practical skills (e.g. pruning, propagating, weed control), but it's also helpful in establishing the mindset of regular foraging for small quantities of food. There's a lot of information about using/storing crops in the kitchen, and a few recipes. Having been used to growing food in more traditional ways and harvesting lots of one crop at a time, I've changed my approach since reading this book, and often wander into the garden to pick small quantities of several crops for a lunchtime stir-fry. Selecting different crops on different days means that this never gets boring.More than half of the book is devoted to the many species that can be included in the forest garden. Even if you'll never grow most of these yourself, the information provided is interesting for its own sake - with plenty about plant origins and history of cultivation.The book is also realistic: Alan Carter is open about the species that you can safely eat... but probably wouldn't if you had a choice. There is also a section on managing relationships with garden/allotment neighbours if you're establishing a forest garden that might appear to tidier minds like an unkempt jungle. Carter's writing style is relaxed, conversational, and sometimes funny, so reading this book from cover to cover was an absolute pleasure.
Great book
What a great book! So informative and seriously useful.
Great book
This book is so useful if you are trying to create a productive garden in Scotland.
At last……doable permaculture advice for those of us with small gardens in the U.K.!
I’ve hardly started reading this book, which arrived yesterday, but it’s amazing how much I’ve learned already. I can see me using this book forever to help me establish my own tiny food forest/forage garden behind our bungalow.There is so much detailed information in the book that it’ll take years to absorb it all!!!!And is well written and engaging to read…..not dry like detailed descriptions and lists often are.I’m really looking forward to my gradual transformation of our veg patch under Alan's tutelage……
