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.
