We chat with author and market gardener Dani Baker about forest gardening.


Baker has created a forest garden on her USDA Zone 4 farm. She shares her tips for making a forest garden, whether it’s an acre or just a few square feet.


We talk about:

  • Permaculture principles
  • Creating microclimates
  • Grouping plants in layers
  • Understanding your space
  • Matching plants to conditions
  • What you can do at this time of year to get started


Her new book is The Home-Scale Forest Garden: How to Plan, Plant, and Tend a Resilient Edible Landscape.
