Permaculture Designers Manual by Mollison, BillPermaculture
is the conscious design and maintenance of economical agriculturally productive ecosystems that have the diversity, stability, and
resilience of natural ecosystems. While permaculture focuses on agricultural systems, it also establishes the importance of integration between landscape and people.
�Permaculture design is a system of assembling conceptual, material, and strategic components in a pattern which functions to benefit life in all its forms... The
philosophy behind permaculture is one of working with, rather than against, nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless action;
of looking at systems in all their functions, rather than asking only one yield of them; and of allowing systems to demonstrate their own evolutions.� --Bill Mollison.
Winter Gardening In The Maritime Northwest; Cool Season Crops For The Year-Round
Gardener by Colebrook, BindaGardening in the Pacific Northwest is a whole different ball of wax from gardening in
other parts of the country. Our generally wet and mild climate affords us the ability to garden year round. Once again, Ms. Colebrook charms us with her knowledge, wisdom
and experience in this recently updated version of her gardening classic.
Personally, I like the old book cover better, but don�t judge this book by its cover. It�s
packed with useful information, much of it new and updated, that will keep you outdoors year round, while filling you home with luscious fruits, nuts, vegetables and flowers from your year-round garden.
