Connecting with plants--a guide to belonging, ecological resilience, and permaculture design

The plants in our world not only nourish and sustain us, they also root us within our human and ecological communities. Mulberries in the Rain explores these vital connections, combining evocative storytelling with detailed crop profiles and permaculture design tools to mentor and inspire you.

Central to permaculture is the art of creating beneficial relationships - crafting inherently regenerative food systems modeled on nature. As growers, we tend to interpret this idea literally--think companion planting, edible ecosystems, and food forests. Where do social relations and community building fit in?

Authors and permaculture experts Ryan Blosser and Trevor Piersol:

  • Demystify plant guilds, showing how to create biodiverse, low-maintenance ecological systems
  • Integrate tried and tested permaculture frameworks such as the Scale of Permanence and the Ecology of Self with tools from economics, mental health, and other disciplines
  • Provide cultivation primers for permaculture plants classified according to function, identifying outstanding anchor plants, nitrogen fixers, barrier plants, beneficial attractors, and dynamic accumulators
  • Use plant narratives to illustrate how our inner landscapes are inextricably intertwined with the way we show up in the world.

This unique, beautifully illustrated handbook breaks new ground in social permaculture while providing a deep hands-on dive into creating thriving foodscapes. Required reading for anyone who seeks a deeper connection to people and place and a more resilient future.
