West Coast Food Forests: A Permaculture Guide\
\
\"\[T\]he heart of the book consists of profiles of the plants I feel are appropriate for West Coast food forests.\
\
Spreading the word about the amazing diversity of food plants that can be grown in this region was the main impetus for writing this book, and I hope it inspires more people to turn their yards into food forests. To this end, I have created charts, in addition to the plant profiles, to help in food forest design.\
\
The Fruit and Nut Harvest Seasons charts allow one to design food forests that spread the yield out over the whole year, so that there is always something to eat from the garden. The Plant Characteristics lists catalog plants according to various traits, allowing one to design for specific sites or for specific functions. \"\
