Bring foraging into your garden with this stunning guide to growing low-maintenance perennial crops that return to your garden every year. Many gardeners are already trying to grow their own food and establish wildlife-friendly habitats. But when winter comes, it can be disheartening to clear away the remnants of your tomato plants and lettuces, leaving the garden barren. Growing edible perennial plants is an easy way to elevate your garden and become more self-sufficient – and with far less work for you. These resilient plants have deeper root systems capable of drawing water and nutrients out of reach from annual plants, making them less vulnerable to drought and pests. From asparagus to blackcurrants, cornflowers to oyster mushrooms, award-winning garden writer and designer Jack Wallington explores more than fifty easy-to-grow perennial vegetables, fruit, herbs and edible flowers. Beautifully organised with captivating photography and a detailed A–Z of produce with growing guidance and nutritional information, this practical guide also features aspirational case studies and advice on designing different types of food forest.Grower-Gatherer will inspire you to create a flourishing edible garden filled with an exciting variety of hardy, sustainable plants.
