Valéry is a genius when it comes to incorporating permaculture principles into container gardening in small urban spaces, taking her inspiration from forest ecosystems and encouraging biodiversity high up in the city sky. After reading her book, I'm excited to explore all the possibilities in my own backyard garden., An enjoyable and easy-to-follow read. . . . Perfect for any experience level, beginner to expert. Even after growing food for over thirteen years, I learned many new and interesting ideas., From soil to containers, from tools to the choice of varieties, and, above all, seeds, Valéry Tsimba willingly shares the foundations of her appetizing small-scale urban permaculture . . . She encourages us to become, like her, gardeners of tomorrow., Container Gardening--The Permaculture Way is a joy to read, filled with rare tips, inspiring photos, and personal insights that can be gathered only through years of patience, thoughtfulness, and close observation. Through her generous, kind, nature-oriented approach, Valéry Tsimba makes growing food accessible to people living in even the smallest of spaces. Taking readers through every step of the process, she demonstrates how to apply ecological lessons from the forest to pots on a balcony, deck, patio, or windowsill. . . . Tsimba's advice will help gardeners grow gently and inexpensively while replenishing the earth and welcoming birds, ladybugs, bees, and other wild friends to partake in the beautiful abundance, The truth in permaculture principles is demonstrated by Valéry's ability to apply them in a way not thought of as permanent--her balcony container garden. Ingenuity and a gift for growing shine through in this relatable and informative book., Like a beloved gardening mentor, Tsimba gives great advice about how to succeed at container gardening. Her book includes best practices for where to make a container garden, along with what and when to plant, so that readers can enjoy the fruits, flowers, and veggies of their labor. . . . An excellent book to hand to beginner gardeners., [Tsimba] promotes both permaculture and associative gardening in this book, a real practical guide accessible to all.
