Words from A Forager’s Life by Helen Lehndorf
Kath Irvine is a renowned organic gardening and permaculture expert and author. Through her writing and consults, she helps people create productive, beautiful and, most of all, easy gardens.
In this interview, Kath shares her gardening wisdom, including the importance of starting small, slowing down, taking notice and following your intuition.
A guild is a team of plants that support, protect and nourish each other, working together for the benefit of all. A guild creates stability and best health because the variety of plants above brings a variety of roots and soil life below. The carefree, wild look belies a carefully crafted, low maintenance, smart garden.
Words by Kath Irvine, from The Edible Backyard
A raised planting bed is a gardener's secret weapon for success. Whether you are a beginner gardener, short on space or simply looking to formalise an area in your garden, building a raised bed is the perfect place to start.
