An introduction to permaculture design principles for beginners and enthusiasts.

Permakultur – von dauerhafter Bodenkultur abgeleitet – beruht auf einem Denken in ökologischen Zusammenhängen und Wechselwirkungen, mit dem Ziel, dauerhafte, sich selbst erhaltende Systeme aus Pflanzen, Tieren und Menschen zu entwickeln. Mit diesem Buch möchte Bernhard Gruber einen einfachen Einstieg ins Thema Permakultur bieten. Es soll keine wissenschaftliche Abhandlung sein, es soll vielmehr animieren, sich in Folge mit einzelnen Themen näher auseinander zu setzen.

This book provides extensive practical information on designing for growing and harvesting medicinal trees and shrubs in a temperate climate, whether for self-sufficiency or profit. There is advice on the design of new planting projects with medicinal trees and shrubs or how to incorporate them into an existing small garden or woodlands. Topics covered include - Key medicinal constituents of woody plants and their medicinal effects – Our historical knowledge of using medicinal trees and shrubs – Combinations of woody and other layers of medicinal plants suitable for forest gardens and permaculture projects – Management including coppicing and pollarding of medicinal trees and shrubs – How to harvest and store bark, flowers, fruit and leaves from trees and shrubs – Sample recipes for making a range of herbal health care products This handbook includes 40 detailed profiles of medicinal trees and shrubs, providing referenced information about their medicinal potential and uses alongside cultivation and harvest details. Further appendices and case studies provide practical examples and more resources. Scaling up cultivation and harvest of medicinal trees and shrubs for commercial purpose is also discussed in this book, with an overview of relevant accreditation bodies and regulations.

Permaculture offers principles that are part of a holistic framework and a set of
thinking tools that allow us to creatively re-design our environment and our behaviour
in an unravelling world and, like a living system, it has evolved and grown. We can
demonstrate that these tried and tested principles work, bringing us back to a unity
with nature and community.

In this collaborative book, Wilf Richards, plus a collective of over 40 experienced permaculture teachers and elders from across Britain and beyond, explore the wealth of permaculture principles to emerge over the last few decades, not just from Holmgren and Mollison but from many many other sources too, attempting to acknowledge all of the teachers that have contributed to them over time. Together they share a history of each principle, its evolution, and tell stories of how they are now being used, understood and applied.

Permaculture principles have evolved from Indigenous knowledge, observations of
nature’s cycles, and the living, teaching and practice of permaculture over the past 50
years in many different climates and cultures. They can be applied to our personal,
economic, social and political lives. The ethical foundation of permaculture guides us
to use these design tools for the betterment of the land, our wild relatives, and
human culture.

Full of stories and case studies, The Power of Permaculture Principles will enable you
to enrich your knowledge of permaculture and how to apply it to your own life.

The book explores definitions of principles, why they emerged in the first place, the use of principles in the design processes and even how they were used to help write the book. It brings the principles up to date on their convoluted journey and adds in their complexities and cautions too. They are a living evolving system that we are all contributing to as we practice and move towards a more sustainable regenerative life.
