A 20-page guide to a Hawaiʻi garden that looks like a forest. Free by email.
The big ideas in plain language: the three permaculture ethics, the twelve principles for island yards, the seven layers of an island food forest, and zones 0 to 5 from the house to the wild edge.
How to read your site and Hawaiʻi’s climate, catch rain with swales and banana circles, run four home soil tests, and use a printable sheet-mulching checklist.
A zone-planning worksheet, three starter guilds, a companion planting cheat sheet, a month-by-month calendar, and the island pests you’ll meet first.
Written for Hawaiʻi’s wet valleys, dry leeward coasts and cool upcountry. As the guide says, check new plants against the Hawaiʻi Pacific Weed Risk Assessment before you buy.
