This book by French writer Nelly Pont and artist Joan Gézac is for those who would like to have a garden of their own. Who will cultivate the land like so many people in the most diverse places on the planet, from the African peninsula of Somalia and the foothills of the Andes, in island valleys and rice paddies, and sometimes just a stone's throw away, on a balcony or on a windowsill.
The gardener needs preparation, of course, but first of all he has to think. How not to harm the environment? How to take better care of the land and protect it? Where to start and how not to give up at the first failure? Fortunately, the novice gardener has many like-minded people, and their thoughts, conclusions and practical experience are collected, accessibly stated and colorfully illustrated in this book. Over the course of a year - from fall to fall - we will master the 12 principles of permaculture. Permaculture is a science and a philosophy at the same time. It was born in the 1970s in the minds of two Australians, university lecturer Bill Mollison and his student David Holmgren. Their interest in nature and their search for a way of life that respects our planet brought them together. In fact, the researchers did not invent anything new. They only utilized the hidden mechanisms of nature itself and the agricultural methods of peoples who had lived in harmony with the world around them for centuries. Today, permaculture has hundreds of thousands of followers around the world. Some of them have even transferred its principles and ethical norms to other spheres of human life: building cities and houses, managing businesses, culture and economics.
