Home-Scale Forest Garden

Making an Edible Landscape with a Forest Garden

Dani Baker, author of The Home-Scale Forest Garden, talks about planning, planting, and caring for a forest garden.

We chat with author and market gardener Dani Baker about forest gardening.

Baker has created a forest garden on her USDA Zone 4 farm. She shares her tips for making a forest garden, whether it’s an acre or just a few square feet.

We talk about:

  • Permaculture principles

  • Creating microclimates

  • Grouping plants in layers

  • Understanding your space

  • Matching plants to conditions

  • What you can do at this time of year to get started

Her new book is The Home-Scale Forest Garden: How to Plan, Plant, and Tend a Resilient Edible Landscape.
