Pippa Chapman, garden designer and author of 'The Plant Lover's Backyard Forest Garden', talks about her most favourite combinations of plants for perennial food gardens, large or small, that are both beautiful and tasty. She offers ideas for ground covers, shrubs, nitrogen fixers, pollinators, flowering edible bulbs ...
Pippa also encourages us to plant for the pure joy of plants, their beauty and scents, and for year-round interest for both humans and to provide food for insects and birds. Forest gardens can provide food and functions but they are also important habitats for nature as well as sanctuaries for human beings. Forest gardens can also be planted with medicinals, crafting, and for gatherings. We can have our edible permacultures and enjoy them too! Plus Pippa also shares how we can involve our children in the garden, especially as they grow older.
