A free book would be very nice, but I am actually more interested in sources in general, regarding forest gardening specifically in Scandinavia.

Thanks for the opportunity anyway!

Thank you for offering, I think my not yet conceived grandchildren would love for me to get these books as I am just now planning a forest garden on our land. I need to choose species now that will be of benefit to generations to come, and then this can benefit our whole community

Garden Forest of Trees

The only way we can exist together
I hug you
And
With a breath of the winds
You extend a hug from your limbs.
I quench your thirst with water so pure;
You shade me from sun with such an allure.
Together we nourish;
Together in time;
The seasons of life,
Together entwined.

Here's a Chinese proverb that's fun and at the same time very wise:

"The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

I'd love to win these books because they would help me create a forest garden for myself and more importantly for future generations.

Why does every almost picture of a "permaculture" expert feature them holding annual garden veggies? One of those perlplexing observations.........

I just got done reading Eric Toensmeier's book "Paradise Lot" and would love to see more of his and Dave Jacke's work.

My favorite quote that's hard to beat from Geoff Lawton:

"You can solve the world's problems in a garden."

As I'm in cooooold Canada, I'm really enjoying your blog on cold-climate permaculture. Information on cold climate growing can be hard to come by. I'd love to win a book as my local library is getting a bit peeved at me continually taking out book 1, then 2, as I try make notes on these dense tomes. Thank you!

In the 43rd chapter of the Ynglinga saga appears this:

"Those who were the wiser of the Swedes found that it caused hard times and famine that men-folk were more than the land could bear but the king had the cause at naught".

Jacke's and Toensmeier's books are excellent, and it is exciting to see their theories begin to be applied to the cold climates of the Northlands. Thank you for helping to support the types of ecological land management that are opposite to those that led to the bane of Sölvi konungur at the hands of the unhappy Swedes in ancient times.

It would be so awesome to get these books!! I'm very much fascinated and interested in the subject. That would be the best gift ever to start a new year which I plan to focus mostly on permaculture design.
Happy new year to everyone full of adventures, smiles and love :) wooohooo :P

To know that the best thing is diversity
you don't even need to go to a university.
But building something in 7 or 9 layers
for this you need some good trainers.
Does an apple close friend to a fig?
or maybe it is quite too big...
I'd like to invite the ladybug and the bee,
is it enough to offer them a cup of tea?
Or should I choose something more aromatic?
A lavender, a sage or something aquatic?
Help me please to find the right answers,
a nice book would certainly help my manners...

I'm an urban forestry student in Ontario Canada, over the past few years I've become obsessed with permaculture and I try to get my hands on as much literature as possible. I'm hoping to one day get a job where I can bring some permaculture practices to the stupid monoculture municipality tree planting programs. These books would help my poor ass! :)
