Permaculture Plants: A Selection by Jeff Nugent and Julia Boniface is a 1996 illustrated handbook that distills decades of hands-on permaculture experience into an easy-to-use plant guide. Compact yet packed with practical detail, it spotlights over 100 useful trees, shrubs, and groundcovers suited to sustainable gardens and farms.
Each profile pairs concise notes on soil, water, and companion planting with clear line drawings that make identification simple. Beginners and seasoned designers alike can quickly choose species for windbreaks, fodder, mulch, bee forage, or human food, weaving them into resilient, low-input systems.
This vintage trade paperback arrives in good, gently-thumbed condition—pages are bright, unmarked, and dog-ear free, with only light wear to the front endpaper. Stored in a smoke-free home, it’s ready to become a trusted reference on your gardening shelf.
Ideal for young adults and adults passionate about regenerative agriculture, homesteading, or eco-landscaping, the book offers enduring inspiration for anyone turning their backyard—or broadacre—into a thriving, earth-friendly oasis.
