A toolkit for developing forest gardens (thesis)



Forest gardens are spreading around the temperate world with a diversity of goals, strategies and spatial structures as practitioners implement these needed systems. Tools and frameworks to advance the research of forest garden methods are a basic requirement. A toolbox booklet was developed through participatory action research. Gardens in the UK and Denmark were studied. The final output is the Forest Garden Archetype booklet, created through participatory action research and showing tools that may be used to strengthen the forest garden discipline.

Here is a direct link to the booklet itself: http://permakultur-danmark.dk/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/FGA-Booklet.-Annex-1.pdf

  3. I have had the same difficulty; the text is fine but there are no annexes and the FGA Booklet is Annexe 0.01.

  4. Hi Lucy and Maurice, thanks for your comments. You are right, the FGA booklet itself is not included via the link I have provided. I will get in touch with Candela (the author) and ask her to make the booklet available online, and then create a new post here with a link to it. Sorry for this error. Best wishes, Chris
