West Coast Food Forestry: A Permaculture  Guide Rain NEW BOOK  on Disc

Food Forests are multi-layered food gardens composed primarily of trees, 
shrubs, and other perennials that are designed to imitate wild forests 
while producing an abundance of food. West Coast Food Forestry: A 
Permaculture Guide addresses the design and maintenance of food forests 
west of the Cascades and Sierras, with special emphasis on the food plants 
that can be grown here. This 136 page book includes:
- a discussion of bioregional issues relevant to food forestry on the West 
Coast;
- an illustrated tour of existing food forests on the West Coast:
- fully illustrated plant profiles for 239 food plants showing the whole 
plant, leaf, flower, and fruit for most species, and with information on 
size, environmental preferences, maintenance, flowering and fruiting times, 
propagation, and more;
- charts showing when fruits and nuts are available for harvest;
- lists of plants for 36 characteristics relevant to design;
- plus a brief introduction to permaculture; and more.
If you are a West Coast gardener ready to turn your lawn into a food 
forest, then this is the book for you!
