Earth Restorer’s Guide to Permaculture by Rosemary Morrow

Earth Restorer’s Guide to Permaculture is a fully revised and updated edition of Rosemary Morrow’s classic text, drawing on her decades of hands-on global teaching experience to offer an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to permaculture for readers working at any scale — from balcony to farm. The book covers practical essentials such as soils, water, microclimates, trees, seeds, and design, while also breaking new ground with chapters on marine permaculture, refugee camp settings, emerging economic models, and patterns in nature. Featuring a foreword by renowned ecofeminist and environmental activist Dr. Vandana Shiva, it frames permaculture as both a local and global practice — one that regenerates biodiversity and builds resilience from the ground up. Published to coincide with the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, it equips homeowners, community planners, and permaculture educators alike with 40 years of evidence-based practice to help restore ecosystems worldwide.
