The edition of this book first appeared in the USA, where it inspired the imagination of the American public through the message it conveys. A message deeply rooted in the heart of cultivation: "Work with nature, not against it," and you'll have a more beautiful, richer, and more generous garden.

The author, Toby Hemenway, shows us how satisfying and simple it is to create an ecosystem on any patch of land near your home, by composing plant communities that work together and fulfill a variety of functions, such as:

• producing and maintaining soil fertility;
• accumulating and conserving water in the soil;
• providing habitat for beneficial insects, birds, and animals;
• creating a edible "forest" with abundant seasonal fruits, nuts, seeds, etc.

The book includes a large chapter dedicated to urban gardening, for city and suburban residents with small plots of land. No matter how small or large the garden is, you can apply basic cultivation principles to make it more diverse, more natural, more productive, and, last but not least, more beautiful!
