What experts say about the ¨Children in Permaculture¨ Manual

— Richard Louv, author of “Vitamin N,” “The Nature Principle,” and “Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder.”

“Earth care, People care and Fair share can serve as principles for all seasons and all professions. If incorporated into the lives of enough children, and the lives of the adults who care for them, this philosophy can change the world.”

– Professor Alastair McIntosh, author of Soil and Soul

“With its homely illustrations and lively suggestions for things to do, this book will help to connect children in community with the Earth and one another.”

– Rosemary Morrow is one of the pioneering women in permaculture, author of the Earth User’s Guide to Permaculture and the Earth User’s Guide to Teaching Permaculture and co-founder of the Blue Mountains Permaculture Institute.

“The manual is very well written and covers all areas of permaculture. It will satisfy the educators and has much for the teachers. It is good to take teachers beyond growing summer vegetables. It is time for this book, in fact it would have been useful five years ago.”

– Looby Macnamara, author of People and Permaculture, and 7 Ways to Think Differently, and co-founder of Cultural Emergence project.

“Brimming with practical examples of how to support children in connecting with themselves, each other and the growing cycle. This handbook illustrates the scope of permaculture that is relevant for children, using gardening as an entry point into wider issues of fairness and connection. Written with such a deep sense of care and consideration for the future generations, it is invaluable for parents and educators alike.”
