The conscious design of largely self maintaining, self renewing, self fertilizing gardens that mimic forest ecosystems is a practical possibility NOW. They can yield abundant harvests of Food, Fuel, Fiber, Fodder, Fertilizer, 'Farmaceuticals' and, of course, FUN. This accessible and engaging guide to edible forest gardening will be the first ever published expressly for North American gardeners, plants, and climates. Our goal is that you, the readers, are inspired and empowered to go out there and start your own forest gardens. Edible Forest Gardens will be comprehensive, rigorous, and grounded in ecological and practical realities while being fun and accessible.

We are very excited to be moving forward on this project, and feel sure that edible forest gardening is an idea whose time has come. Ordering your copy of this important book now not only saves you money, it helps support us as authors while we finish the work. With your help, we hope to have the book out in time for the Spring, 2000 tree planting season!
