This ground-breaking series from Perrine and Charles Hervé-Gruyer is the culmination of years of hands-on organic growing experience and research from the world-renowned Bec Hellouin Farm in France.

Their combination of biointensive methods and permaculture design, which they have named ‘ecoculture’, is backed by scientific research, and has resulted in a highly abundant market garden that sequesters carbon and frees up land for Nature.

Volume one shows you how natural systems work, and explains how a wide range of simple and effective techniques can create ecologically diverse gardens or highly productive farms. 

Volume two dives deep into the details, covering subjects on growing methods; seeding & soil preparation; plant densities and replicable crop associations; tools, irrigation and harvesting; growing year-round; vegetables, fruit, microgreens, flowers, mushrooms, tree crops and forest gardens.

Volume three explains the multiple elements that make up a productive, profitable and nature-friendly market garden or small farm

This comprehensive series offers principles and practices that can be used on any scale. They are, however, of particular interest to small to medium scale farmers, horticulturists, forest gardeners, agronomists and market gardeners.
