{"product_id":"books-the-garden-of-equal-delights-by-anni-kelsey","title":"the garden of equal delights","description":"Forest gardens are much in the news as an exemplary form of resilient, sustainable, small-scale agriculture and plenty has been written about them already.  But little has been written about the role of those who 'look after' them.   A forest garden is edible, fertile, abundant and beautiful because it functions as an ecosystem. The forest gardener is an integral part of this ecosystem - which raises the question of what exactly the forest gardener should be trying to do.  This book answers that question.  At the heart of a forest garden is the unique relationship between the garden and the gardener. The 'garden of equal delights' after which this book is named is Anni Kelsey's forest garden high on a wet and windy Welsh hillside. Rejecting control and a regimen of planned interventions in favour of a more intimate, knowing and connected relationship with her garden, Anni describes how she learned to garden as an intrinsic - and equal - part of the ecosystem.  She uses her years of experience to formulate and explain in very practical terms a set of principles that other forest gardeners can follow in their own preferred way.  So this is a challenging and inspiring story for experienced, new and would-be forest gardeners and for anyone with a love of nature and a longing to engage with it on a deeper level.  A forest garden is a different garden which needs to be gardened differently by a different gardener.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53509880774929,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781911193746.jpg?v=1778169303","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-the-garden-of-equal-delights-by-anni-kelsey","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
