Industry Reviews

As both a certified permaculture designer and edible landscape designer I have been looking for the ideal resource to serve as an easily digestible introduction to permaculture for my clients. The Practical Permaculture Project is the stand-out option for recommending to many of the people that I work with. It is both technically accurate and easy to read.

This book gives a great overview of all areas with enough information that you can get started on your project right away.

Great descriptions, very practical, excellent illustrations.

I have zero hesitancy in recommending this book.

Permaculture is a revelation at the right time and moment. It is huge for the people, but most people don't realize it yet. The book is a gate opener to someone who wants to transform their life into self-sustainability and sufficiency. It is practical, her words already guide us well. Congratulations and we owe Sophie McKay for her wonderful work.

This is a well-written and inviting intro to permaculture. The author does a great job of covering the basics as well as newer information and techniques that folks can incorporate into their permaculture journeys. As a permaculture teacher and practitioner, I appreciate the welcoming approach the author uses to entice people to learn more.

After reading this book, I am convinced that permaculture is a win for everybody and everything on the planet! The Practical Permaculture Project gives a generous, well-rounded account of permaculture gardening, and it shows that it's more than possible for just about anybody to grow his or her own fresh, nutritious foods, working with Mother Nature, whether the gardener has a few acres or just a few feet to work with. I am very happy to have purchased The Practical Permaculture Project!

I have my own garden, and I was looking for a book that can explain the basics of the organic approach. This book was a perfect choice - I really enjoyed reading it, and it was full of practical tips&tricks. I will use my new guide to build my garden beds and optimize the space I have - already this spring!
