I’ve dabbled in gardening here and there. I get excited when I start, but it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Most gardening books are very technical, which is great, when you need information. I’ve gotta say though … this fun, motivating take on teaching gardening was a pleasant surprise and an awesome change of pace!

It has all the information you’d need to start a garden, and you’ll have fun while you’re learning. For me, information sticks better that way (when I’m having fun), so it was right up my alley!

I am so excited to start my garden, *and* to keep going. And to fail, and learn, and laugh, and try again, and do better next time! All thanks to Josie Beckham.

If you’re new to gardening, or seasoned, and want to have a blast while learning some more about permaculture gardening … this is your book! ( )

I have never had a garden before, although both my parents were avid gardeners. We always had plenty extra to share with neighbors and lots of healthy veggies for the family. So, as an adult, I have wanted to live that healthy lifestyle again, but the basic row-by-row garden plan has been daunting for me. Way too much work with the busy life I live.

BUT I AM EXCITED NOW that I have this CLEARLY WRITTEN and WELL-ORGANIZED book. Gardening is doable now that I have a guidebook. I am on the road to a healthier life!

THANK YOU, JOSIE BECKHAM. I am getting pots this week. I can do this! ( )

Dig into Sustainable Success with "Permaculture Gardening for the Absolute Beginner"
Josie Beckham's "Permaculture Gardening for the Absolute Beginner" is a delightful guide for anyone, regardless of experience, who wants to cultivate a thriving, organic garden.

Beckham's approach is both encouraging and practical. She breaks down the core principles of permaculture in a clear and engaging way, making them accessible even to complete novices. The book goes beyond simply teaching you "how to" garden; it empowers you to design a garden that works in harmony with nature, fostering a sense of connection to the local ecosystem.

Whether you have a sprawling backyard or a tiny balcony, Beckham's practical tips and techniques equip you with the knowledge to create a productive and sustainable garden space. From seed starting to harvest, the book covers all the essential aspects, empowering you to grow your own delicious and healthy food with confidence.

"Permaculture Gardening for the Absolute Beginner" is more than just a gardening guide; it's an invitation to embark on a journey of learning, self-reliance, and environmental stewardship. So, grab your gloves, get ready to get your hands dirty, and discover the joy of sustainable gardening with this informative and inspiring book.

This is a basic gardening book probably good for beginners. The language is a bit too casual for my liking for this type of book, but that may appeal to others. I'm not sure it really differentiates permaculture from regular organic/sustainable gardening.

This is a very comprehensive introduction to the topic. While I'm new to permaculture, I'm an experienced gardener, so many of the topics I already knew about, such as seed starting, companion planting, and container gardening. The illustrations are helpful and well rendered. For someone new to gardening and permaculture, this would be very helpful. If this ever becomes available in a book format (I received a PDF), I would definitely buy a copy.
